Google is popular due to it's search engine but these days it is going to be something more than a search engine . There are loads of utilities provided by google . For me it is not a search engine only now because i am seeking other services and i am very satisfied . What are your thoughts about it ?

This thread is from 2007 and the contributors already spotted Google moving beyond a single product. raised that shift, while , and touched on business and project angles. The practical issue today is how that expansion affects site visibility and daily workflows. The short, focused guidance below updates the conversation with current, actionable steps and official references.

Recommended first steps for a website or web app:

  • Verify ownership and monitor indexing with Google Search Console; submit an XML sitemap and watch the Coverage and Mobile Usability reports for errors.
  • Serve all pages over HTTPS, set canonical URLs, and check robots.txt to avoid accidental blocking.
  • Use structured data (schema) where appropriate to increase chances of rich results.
  • Improve page speed and stability: run Lighthouse audits, track Core Web Vitals from field data, and prioritize meaningful UX fixes (largest contentful paint, input delay, layout shift).
  • Keep content accurate, well-sourced, and focused on user intent rather than keyword tricks; measure performance with Analytics and real-user metrics.

For context and official guidance, refer to Google Search Central and the Core Web Vitals documentation for up-to-date rules and diagnostics. Over time Google’s priorities and signals have changed; the most reliable approach is to follow official docs, monitor actual search performance, and fix concrete technical and content issues rather than relying on anecdotes. This complements the observations made earlier in the thread while giving site owners concrete things to check now.

Google has its hand in a lot of things these days and they are only getting bigger. They were recently voted as one of the top5 most valuable companies in the world. That should tell you something. When comes to services Google offers here is one that most of you probably never heard of http://www.google.com/mars/ and http://www.google.com/moon/

Today Google has become a big name. Recently they have launched, Google Earth Outreach, to help non-profit organizations communicate and present data using its Google Earth. It can help in providing information including help documents, video tutorials, and case studies that describe how to create Keyhole Markup Language layers for Google Earth. It certainly is going places.
