Google Chrome extensions are getting often used in recent days and we found a cool extension "Send to Docs" which allows you to upload the any files including web page as PDF file into your Google docs account.

Google docs recently announced free 1 GB storage and upload any files with file size limit of 250 MB. So you no need to worry about storage you can upload lot many files into your Google docs account for your future reference.

Download and install Send to Docs extension from chrome extensions. After installing you can find toolbar icon present near by address bar. (Note : if you have installed more chrome extensions you cant view the newly installed chrome extension. So disable few extensions to view newly installed extension in your Chrome browser).

We have tested send to docs by uploading web page into Google docs account. For instance open any web page and click on send to docs toolbar icon you can notice the web page is converted to PDF.

If your file or web page is uploaded you can notice smile icon, if failed you can notice error symbol as shown above picture. Check out our test PDF file which is converted by send to docs chrome extension.

Google the internet giant provides lot of services like search, email, translate and more. If you like to translate a web page you need to go to translate.google.com and you need to paste the URL to translate the particular page.

If you are using Google Chrome browser, now you can translate web pages more faster. If you open any non English websites, Google chrome browser detects the language and shows option to translate the web page. Before that you need to update your Google Chrome browser to latest stable release version 4.1.249.1036 (41514).

After updating Google Chrome browser to latest stable version, open any non-English website. For instance let us open Google China  music website.

You can find an information bar which displays the web page language and asks your permission to translate. If you select translate by default Google Chrome will translate it to English language.

After translating into English language, you can choose your preferred language to be translated. For instance if you like to translate Chinese web page into Hindi. First Google Chrome will translate to English and then you can translate it by selecting Hindi.

Now that Twitter and Facebook fan pages are included in Google search results, I thought I would share with you a few SEO tips to get more SEO push out of your twitter and facebook pages.

These tips apply to both twitter and facebook fan pages and they are simple to do.. and we all like simple..right?  lol

Your name should include one of your keywords, or at least fit your niche. Ex: if you sell dog toys, then choose a name that fits that.

You can also add a keyword to your display name too. I don’t do this because it makes it less personal, but if SEO juice is what you want then keyword your name too.

With you url in your profile, make sure to use your actual url not a shortened one.  Also remove the “www” since Google only takes your first 20 characters.

Your profile is a great place to put your keywords, but again don’t go over board since you want to personalize your profile as much as you can, and you only have 160 char. Keywords will help with search also on twitter makes it easier for people to search and find you.

This is cool, you can SEO your profile picture! You can’t can rename the photo before you upload it that way when it shows up in the URL it will have the keywords that you named. Make sure to leave NO spaces.
