Google Apps:Google Apps has developed substantially since it was introduced, but power office software users will tell you that Google Apps is very basic compared to offline software.

 

 

AdSense:I use AdSense here on SBS. If your business is online content publishing, blogging, etc., AdSense can be a great way to earn money. 

 

Google Checkout:Google Checkout has a couple fairly compelling features for business owners, including its tight integration with AdWords and lower costs than PayPal. 

 

Google Toolbar and Google Reader:Google Toolbar adds functionality to your Web browser, including letting you see the Google PageRank of every page you visit. Google Reader is an RSS feed reader with some cool functionality. But in both cases, each product can be replaced with non-Google products that are plenty adequate, if not better.

 

Blogger:It’s a great SEO tool if your blog has great content and attracts links. Many small businesses can benefit from starting a company blog. Just don’t do it on Google’s Blogger platform.
