Google Ajax Wizards

I was reminded today when I visited the Google Adsense blog that Google has some interesting wizards that you can use to add ajax addons on your website. The Adsense blog was talking about a news bar, but there is also map search, video bar, video search, and book bar wizards.

The news bar wizard offers some possibilities to offer your regular readers the latest news about the topics you choose. For example if your website was about golfing, you can set the news bar to just display the latest news about golf. This should help deliver information that will be useful for your visitors,

These addons will do little to help your placement in the search engines, but they can be useful for your visitors. The map wizard, for example, is the easiest way to generate a Google Map to add to a website.
