Google is holding a seminar on 3 of the most useful products for webmasters i.e  Google Webmaster Tools, Google Analytics, and Google Website Optimizer on 8th of July.

Here’s a short description of all the tools mentioned:-

Google Webmaster Tools is a resource to gauge the visibility of your pages on Google. It shows you which of our search queries drive traffic to your site and lets you see where your site is included in the top search results. You’ll even be able to identify your top content and view the words that other sites use to link to it.

Google Analytics provides further insight on how people land and navigate on your site, regardless of whether they arrive through Google search, pay-per-click ads, or other means. You can see which geographical regions people come from, view your top landing pages, and compare the effectiveness of all your ads, e-mail newsletters, affiliate campaigns, referrals, and keywords on Google and other search engines.

Google Website Optimizer then enables you to act on the information you’ve gathered about your site and make concrete improvements. After identifying your high-traffic but low-converting pages, you can test different combinations of content to determine which one most yields the outcome you’re looking for.

Here’s the Time and Date :-

DATE: Tuesday, July 8
TIME: 9:00 a.m. PT (Pacific Time)

You can register for the seminar for free by visiting here.

During this online seminar, team members will:

• Provide brief introductions to their products
• Highlight recent product updates and releases
• Discuss the benefits of using all three products together
• Answer common questions submitted by attendees

Also if you miss out the seminar or not able to attend it then you can still see the archives of the seminar by visiting the registration link.

Google today has unveiled Google Map Maker, a new product that allows users to contribute and edit Maps data for regions around the world. Google Map Maker will initially be available in 18 countries: the Caribbean (Antigua & Barbuda, Bahamas, Barbados, Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Grenada, Jamaica, Netherlands Antilles, St. Kitts & Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent & the Grenadines, Trinidad & Tobago), Cyprus, Iceland, Pakistan, and Vietnam.

Here’s a work of Map Creator used to create the Myanmar maps :-

                                                    People can use Google Map Maker to locate, draw, label and provide attributes for local map features. Tapping local knowledge has the potential to greatly improve the quality of mapping data in the developing world. The collection of data in these areas is often neglected — so Google is giving people with local knowledge access to an easy-to-use tool to better catalog their area.

Have a Nice Day And Enjoy :mrgreen:
