What is Google Page Creator

2006-02-24T15:04:00.000-08:00

Google has launched a new product, Google Page Creator, which is used to create web pages on yourdomain.googlepages.com. And what seems to becoming par for the course, its initial launch was too successful, and sign ups where temporary stopped. The other recent launch of Google Analytics which integrates with Google’s flagship, Google AdWords, had the same trouble; its initial launch had too much demand for the beta system. Google Page Creator allows for users to build individual pages, that are individually managed and part of the 100 megabyte space provided. Google has become one of the top two Blog creators with Blogger.com, which would in theory be a close sister to Google Page Creator.

Natural Search Results

The natural search result or sometimes called native results, is where your site can be found inside the body of a search engine page. These are free listing results, so all competing websites have the same base to start from. The exact results of your site are based on a number of criteria such as content, keywords, back links, and outgoing links. The major search engines, Google, Yahoo! and MSN, all use keyword algorithms to determine your web page’s search results. Paid adverting is independent of the natural keyworded results.
