Help the world find your content.
Google Base is a place where you can add all types of information that we’ll host and make searchable online.

You can describe any item you post with attributes, which will help people find it when they search Google Base. In fact, based on the relevance of your items, they may also be included in the main Google search index and other Google products like Froogle and Google Local.

See items posted by others. Non-profit organizations - volunteer, non-profit, jobs in charity
Chicken Tikka Masala - recipes, reviews, cuisine
Cars for Sale - Mercedes Benz, Porsche, Prius
Course descriptions - differential equations - linear algebra - biochemistry

Other ways to submit information to Google include Google Video, Google Print, and Google Sitemaps

Quick Facts about Google Base
Cost: Free
Item types accepted: All types of online and offline information and images
Languages: You can submit your information in many languages; the Google Base interface, however, including the Help Content, is currently available only in English, English UK and German.
Reach: Items you submit to Google Base can be found on Google Base and, depending on their relevance, may also appear on Google properties like Google, Froogle and Google Local.
How it’s different: Google Base enables you to add attributes that better describe your content so that users can easily find it. The more popular specific attributes become, the more often we’ll suggest them when others post the same items. Similarly, items that become more popular will show up as suggested item types in the Choose an existing item type drop down menu.

Basically public access, google authored and maintained database… which will be searchable from other google properties.

Basically, You are submitting Your own personal “data” for indexing…

Awesome, so Google is getting more intelligent and almost like free thinking? Its almost scary, haha.

Your work deserves to be seen.
You’ve made a great video. Now who will watch it?

Whether you produce hundreds of titles a year or just a few, you can give your videos the recognition and visibility they deserve by promoting them on Google - for free. Signing up for the Google Video Upload Program will connect your work with users who are most likely to want to view them.

Sign up and upload…
We’re accepting digital video files of any length and size. Simply sign up for an account and upload your videos using our Video Uploader (please be sure you own the rights to the works you upload), and, pending our approval process and the launch of this new service, we’ll include your video in Google Video, where users will be able to search, preview, purchase and play it. Find out more here.

4. What kind of information can I submit?
Remember, our goal is to organize the world’s information and make it universally useful and accessible, and “the world’s information” certainly includes almost anything you might wish to contribute. We encourage you to submit your item, whether it’s your store inventory, collection of original poetry, or research paper on cancer receptors
