Google may be a synonym for search, but it’s not restricted to that feature alone. If you are not a tech-savvy person then chances are that you are unaware about majority of Google’s products and services.
Anyway, how many Google products and services do you use? The common answers will be Gmail, Google+, Drive, Docs, or an Image Search. But Google is well beyond that.
Over 1 billion Google Search users. Over 1 billion YouTube users. Over 1 billion Gmail users. Over 1 billion Chrome users. Over 1 bilion Maps users. Over 1 billion Android users. Over 1 billion Google Play Store users. That’s the stats of Google.
What are the Top 10 Google Products & Services?
If you check Alexa traffic stats of Google.com then you can see that the 10 most popular Google products are Google Search, Mail, Docs, Plus, Drive, Translate, Maps, AdWords, Play Store, and Google News. However, Google is so much beyond that.

Closing Thoughts
It’s no secret that Google dominated the web post the dot-com bubble. And it was becoming more and and more popular when several other big dot-com companies were struggling (including the Yahoos and the AOLs of the web).
Google never had to look back as it enjoyed a monopoly in the search engine market (just like Microsoft monopolized the operating systems market in the 1990s and 2000s).
The best thing about Google (from the user point of view) is that they launched a ton of other products & services (apart from a search engine) and gave away all of them for free. Because they were able to subsidize all its cost via their highly profitable advertising business.
When Google started launching more and more web products I was super-excited as I saw myself using almost all of them. And that’s what inspired me to publish this listicle.
Please share with me any other interesting Google product/service or even a handy tool that’s not listed here so that I can add it to the list above.
So, how many Google products and services are you using?
Happy Googling! :)
