Don’t believe my recommendations!

If you have read through my blog since its birth, you will have came across some recommended services and resources that I’ve spoken highly of such as Internet Marketing all-in-one E-commerce solution Site-Build-It, autoresponder service provider Aweber,  stock charting software ChartNexus and web-hosting provider Hostgator.

Now, what I want to say is that while I give my recommendations with a sincere heart believing that it will truly benefit someone out there who is looking for an answer, I will still like to say, “DON’T BELIEVE IT!” Not until you have done your own research and due diligence that is.

There are always many people recommending this and that, and while some are truly good and worth every penny, many others are just pure crap. We must always ask ourselves some questions first, before contemplating buying or taking up the service.

1. Does it suit my requirements?

Ferrari may be a superb car. However if I just want a simple no frills vehicle that can take me from point A to B, I won’t need such an expensive high end car, even if the whole racing world is raving about it.

2. Is it too expensive and way out of my budget?

So you think you know Google well enough?

In the Internet world, there is hardly anyone who do not know or have not heard about the Big G. Everything now is about Google this and Google that.

To be honest, this is hardly surprising. Since Google, founded by Larry Page and Sergey Brin, burst onto the scene in 1998, they took the search engine realm by storm. One by one, they brushed aside their more established competitors like Altavista, Excite, Lycos and to a lesser extend, Yahoo, with embarrassing ease.

I remembered a few years back when people were asking if that their share price at 160 was too high? Guess what? The price is now at 495, poised to break through the 500 psychological barrier. With the P/E and market capitalization at a staggering figure of 63 and 152 billion respectively, you know Google is a force to be reckoned with. A titan if you will.

Anyway the point of this post is not really about Google’s financial background nor its history (perhaps I’ll talk more about this in later posts).

The real purpose here is that I just like to let you in about a great resource I got to know on almost everything about Google for webmasters and Internet marketers. Be it on Adwords, Adsense, Blogger, Sitemaps, Firefox, Froogle  and many more other Google features, this website gives you, the Google user, handy tutorials, tips and tricks.
