Google Web Elements – Add Useful Components To Your Website

google-web-elements
Google Web Elements provide an easy way for you to add Google products to your website or blog. You can add content, such as news, Google Maps, and YouTube videos, along with features like social conversations from Google Friend Connect.
Google Web Elements are incredibly easy to use: just choose the features you want, and copy a few lines of code to your website.
Anyone with a blog or other website can use Google Web Elements. For example, if you own a restaurant, you can add the Maps Element to your site to show customers how to find you. If you run a blog about your favorite sports team you can add the News Element to display customized headlines about how great your team is.
If you own a business, you can use the Custom Search Engine Element so customers can easily search your site, and you can even show Ads by Google on your site and share in the revenue from them.
Adding elements to your site is incredibly easy. Here’s how to do it:
1. Go to the Google Web Elements website and choose the element you want to add to your page.
2. Choose the settings you want for your element. You’ll see a preview of the element exactly as it will appear on your site.
3. Copy the few lines of code from the page and paste them into your webpage. That’s it!
You can even earn money with this service. The Custom Search element displays Ads by Google and you can choose to share in the revenue by associating your Ad Sense publisher ID.
Elements are Google-created objects that let you embed Google products and services, such as Maps, News, and Web Search, on your own sites. Gadgets are created by Google and by third-party developers, and offer a wide variety of content and services. Some elements are indeed built on existing Google AJAX APIs, but are now easier than ever to use — choose your settings, then copy and paste a few lines of code.
These are the current Google Web Elements: 
1. Calendar 
2. Conversation 
3. Custom search 
4. Maps 
5. News 
6. Presentations 
7. You tube news 
8. Spreadsheets
