Google | Comments (3)

Google Image Search has always been a very useful feature under the search engine giant’s bevy of services for the common researcher and online marketers alike. Since its launch, it has since become instrumental in evolving the search industry as it branched out of the then customary text-based algorithms popularized by earlier search engines such as Yahoo, Lycos and AltaVista.

These can sure change the way the common user, online marketers and players in the search market (like us here at SEOP.com) conduct and leverage on image searches.

And a happy audience can lead to your site traffic heading northbound.

We here at SEOP.com have always believed that mobile is a robust platform for any kind of brand to take advantage of. Indeed it is and one of the best ways to get your word out to the mobile Internet community is by developing apps.

Now, thanks to Google’s open attitude towards Web and app development, even if you’re not a developer yourself, you can create an app with the App Inventor for Android.
