Google News is adding local news video to its aggregation of stories, letting users watch related YouTube clips alongside the links to news content.
If there’s video available for a given story, you’ll now see a YouTube icon under the snippet about the news. Click it and the YouTube video drops down, and can be watched right from the Google News page. Poking around the Google News homepage, it seems like maybe about 5-10 percent of stories now come with video attached.

Announced  by Marissa Mayer, Google’s VP of Search and User Experience, Google Search Options is an attempt to organize universal search results – ones that include news, blog posts, images, and videos. Once turned on (by clicking “Show Options” in any search result), the feature appears as a left-hand column next to search results.

Search Options has four different sections for filtering results. The first is the content drill down, which is already available on Google search. This is yet another way to filter video, image, news, or other types of results.

But as you look at the other options that are available, things get intriguing, starting with time-based filtering. When you search a topic and turn on Google Search Options, you will have the ability to look at only results created recently, within the last day, the last week, or the last year. If you’re looking for the most recent information on Brett Favre, Miss California, or the Pope, then Google Search Options allows you to just see the most recent content on those subjects. It could certainly be viewed a response to the buzz centered around Twitter real-time search, which can often be a better way to track the conversation around major events.

One of the other cool things that Google has released with Search Options is Wonder Wheel, which is a visual representation of Google search results that you can’t miss – the text is rendered in classic multi-colored Google fashion. Wonder Wheel places your search topic inside of a light blue circle and places related terms around it. Search results still appear to the right of the Wonder Wheel. Google has also included Timeline in this update, another visualization of search results based on the date of the content.

Search Options should be live for all users by the end of today. Overall, it’s a search filtering system that gives the user greater control over what they’re looking for. Google is trying to make sure that they cover all the possible issues a user could have with search. If you’re not sure what you’re looking for, then Wonder Wheel is useful . If you need the buzz behind the Space Shuttle Atlantis launch, then time-filtering comes into play. Make no mistake: users now have a lot more control over search results.

Before closing out Searchology, Google made two other interesting announcements. First was the announcement of Google Squared, a new Google Labs project launching at the end of May for showing Google results in spreadsheet form. The other was a new application for Google Android phones, SkyMap, which is exactly as it sounds – a detailed map of the stars and the night sky.

Similar Images: Image Recognition in Image Search

The first new project that Google is touting is Similar Images, which uses image recognition technology to help you filter and organize image search results. Say you’re trying to find pictures of a specific person, but many people share his or her name. How do you filter the results?

If you are already an Ad-Sense member,  you may not know that Google recently tightened up their acceptance policies for their popular Ad Sense program.

Gone are the days where you can throw up a quick Blogger blog today and get accepted into the Ad-Sense program by tomorrow.

According to their policies, you must adhere to the following guidelines…

1)  Your website must sit on a top-level domain (yoursite.com not yoursite.host.com or host.com/yourwebsite).

2) Your domain must be active for at least 6 months

3) Your Ad Sense application info must match your domain records

Due to the fact I am already a member, I was not aware of some of these policies until I began getting more emails from people who were getting rejected because their site didn’t adhere to one or more of the guidelines.

One blogger was quite upset, saying he believed his Blogger blog had very well written content that was unique. Another lady complained that the guidelines were just too strict and should be relaxed.

Take note that both of these blogs were created with the free Blogger service and neither had their own domain name to redirect to their blogs.

So in all these condition a normal blogger needs Alternative Of Google Ad-sense and i am going to tell you what they do for make money online ……
