Google Web Elements

What is Google Web Elements?


Google Web Elements allow you to incorporate your favorite Google products -- like Maps, News, Friend Connect and YouTube -- right onto your own website. They require no programming knowledge; all you need to do is use the customization wizard and we’ll automatically generate a snippet of text to paste on your page.


Who can use Elements?

Elements are so easy to add that anyone with a website or blog can use them.

  • Use the Map Element to help visitors find a location. 
  • With the Custom Search Element, your visitors can search your entire site and other sites you specify with the power of Google Search. 
  • To help people keep track of your upcoming events, use the Calendar Element. 
  • Make your site more engaging by including a Google News slideshow about topics that are relevant to your site or YouTube videos from various news providers.

See below for a full list of Google Web Elements.  


How Google Web Elements Work

You can put an element on your site in just a few steps using a wizard: http://www.google.com/webelements/news

The example is the News element Wizard. After choosing from a few options like search topics (the topics of headlines that you want to appear) you can preview your element, then simply grab the code and paste it on your page.
