Okay, this is what the top ten elements to put in every content you write.

1. Keyword title in your Post title! – Your keyword term should be included in the name of your post.

9. H2 heading with keyword phrase! – This should be like a little explanation of what you are to write, but it should also contains the keyword phrase you are writing about and also should be in HEADING 2

10. Try to add H3 heading with keyword phrase!

Cloud SQL: pick the plan that fits your app

One of the most requested additions to the Google App Engine platform has been a SQL database, and more than 10,000 developers have signed up for the Google Cloud SQL service since the preview launch last October. Google Cloud SQL automatically provisions and maintains your databases, allowing you to focus on your applications and services.




Since launch, we’ve been busy working on improving the performance, and adding features like scheduled backups and multihoming to increase availability and improve performance. We are also now offering more powerful instances with up to 4GB of RAM. 


Today we are announcing our pricing, which will take effect on June 12th with two options to choose from:



  • For developers who want to try out the service, or who have lightweight applications - we offer a flexible “per use” pricing scheme. For example, you can get started with a cloud hosted MySQL database for around a dollar per month. You pay for just what you use.



  • For developers with more traffic, there are packages that offer a discount and help you predict your costs in advance.



Google Cloud SQL is currently in limited preview. If you want to give us a try, start here https://developers.google.com/cloud-sql/.

Looking for search? Find it on Google App Engine

For almost as long as we can remember, full text search has been one of the top feature requests for Google App Engine. Since our talk at Google I/O last year, we’ve been hard at work getting search ready for our developers, and today we’re happy to announce that we are making it available as an Experimental feature.


The Search API, like many other features of Google App Engine, allows you to take advantage of parts of Google’s infrastructure to add full text search to your application. This release includes a host of features including searching specific fields and ranges as well as more advanced features like scoring and snippeting. Whether you want to index products and search price ranges or just match keywords over articles and comments, the Search API is ready for you to test drive.

To help you start integrating search into your application, we’ve created a sample application and walkthrough and documented our known issues. We are extending a limited free quota for testing during our Experimental period.

As always, we’re grateful to all of our trusted testers for their patience and feedback in preparation for this launch, and we look forward to your feedback on the groups. Happy searching (and finding)!

Google+ Hangouts On Air: broadcast your conversation to the world



[Cross posted from the Google Official Blog]



Last year we introduced Hangouts On Air to a limited number of broadcasters, enabling them to go live with friends and fans, for all the world to see. Since then, this small community has grown the feature in lots of creative ways. And they’ve made one thing crystal clear: when groups of passionate individuals can broadcast live, together, the results are truly remarkable:










Today we're excited to launch Hangouts On Air to Google+ users worldwide. So if you have something to say—as an aspiring artist, a global celebrity, or a concerned citizen—you can now go live in front of a global audience. With just a few clicks, you’ll be able to:\



  • Broadcast publicly. By checking "Enable Hangouts On Air," you can broadcast your live hangout—from the Google+ stream, your YouTube channel or your website—to the entire world.

  • See how many viewers you’ve got. During your broadcast, you can look inside the hangout to see how many people are watching live.

  • Record and re-share. Once you're off the air, we’ll upload a public recording to your YouTube channel, and to your original Google+ post. This way it's easy to share and discuss your broadcast after it's over.









Of course, launching millions of live stations takes some doing, so we're rolling out Hangouts On Air gradually, over the next few weeks. In the meantime you can save the date for an upcoming hangout...
