I’ve already written a step by step guide to help you increase your current Google rankings. Instead of repeating my brief review of those sites here, I’ve posted that article to a page that you can read at http://www.freetrafficdirectory.com/increaserankings - it’s a free online guide that you can start using today.
I wanted to get that out of
way so we can talk about some of
other sites I’ve discovered since then.
One site will search Google for you and compile a site map using
pages it finds for your site in Google. http://www.tele-pro.co.uk/scripts/google/indexer_info.htm
You can study
relationship between your sites and others using GARBO (stands for Google API Relation Browsing Outliner). This can help you find sites to trade links with, or sites you can link to from your site to provide more information to your visitors, and otherwise study
relationship between two sites, as told by Google. Read more about it here:

Want to query only fresh sites, for research or for tracking purposes? Try Goofresh here:

You can also add Google searches to your site. It’s
number one search engine, and especially if you have a member’s area, it can help make your site “sticky”, meaning that your visitors will find themselves coming to your site over and over to use your resources. You can find
script to add this to your site here:

Another helpful Google API Tool can help you get users to search your site using Google. It uses PHP, and can be found here:

To find more applications on your own, you’ll first want to look around at
sites I have already mentioned, as many of them have multiple web based applications developed with their access to Google’s API, or will in
near future.
The reason I wrote this article is because it takes a bit of digging to find some of
best ones. Here is a good starting places that I found, naturally, through Google:

If you want to search Google itself, you might try search terms like “Google API applications”, “Google API software” or “Google API scripts”. You can also start from “Google API” and search within results for implementations or
word “key”.
