From a presentation last week in Mountain View, California, here’s a video tour of Google’s Data Center. Could you ever estimate how much wire is involved here?

Track The Adsense Clicks Through Google Analytics
If you are using Google AdSense on your website, here’s some very good news.
You will soon be able to track visitor clicks on your AdSense ads using Google Analytics reports.
These new reports in Analytics have enough details to help you exactly measure AdSense performance on every single page of your website.
Google dropped hints on AdSense – Analytics integration some two years but the program has finally entered the beta phase as revealed by a post on GoogleCache (offline now).
Luckily the story remained in FeedDemon’s cache and picking from there, following is a summary of AdSense related data that you’ll be able to track via Google Analytics:
1. The number of times AdSense ads were clicked on any given web page.
2. AdSense revenue generated per page for clicks mentioned in #1.
3. You’ll also know the CTR and CPM for all web pages – no need to create individual URL channels in your AdSense dashboard.
4. “Top AdSense Referrers” – this is the most interesting report as it helps you know about revenue made per referring websites.
Let’s take an example. Assume two sites – digg.com and cnn.com – have linked to a page on your website and are sending some referral traffic. Now Analytics will tell you exactly how much AdSense revenue you are making through traffic from each of these sites.
This report has enormous potential as it lends a “measurable” value to each incoming link. Some sites could even use this as a replacement for affiliate programs.
All the above information is based on screenshots that were shared by Google Cache but that story is no longer available on the web.

Google Squared – Giving Intelligent Search Results
Google Squared, the so called answer of Google to Wolfram Alpha is now live. Google Squared is an experimental search engine that gives you organized search results broken down by categories which they call “square” of information. User can modify the starter square by removing rows and columns they don’t like. You can add new rows and columns and having Google Squared attempt to fetch the relevant facts. If you’re happy with your square you can save it and come back to it later. Google Squared does the grunt work for you, making research fast and easy.
For example, I tried to search for the keyword “cleveland cavaliers” and It returns me a spreadsheet result of cavaliers team roster including inactive players.
