I can't believe you just shared, well maybe not "just", such valuable information. I was about to complete setting up my first sales funnel with Google sites. I can only imagine trying to direct audience to my contact form for an example, and the result is "Not found". What a disaster! Thank you so much!
You can get the naked url to work just fine. You can customize the url freely for each page. You may want to research your cons a bit better. One real issue is the lack of control of the height of images. Also adding an audio player that works across platforms is a challenge. Cheers.
Sure if you have a GSuite account but most don’t. Yes you can adjust the URL of pages. Never made the claim you can’t. My main issue is the lack of control over the on page SEO. Anyways, thanks for the comment.
Great description of google sites. Quick question. Do you have to do something in your google site settings to get google to index the site in search results? Thanks 🙂

This content was very helpful I admittedly was/am feeling a little lost. In short - I was wondering if I owed the domain though a third party sight like Name Cheap could I just have that sight redirect to my google sight to bypass the naked domain thing you were talking about? In longer - I want to be able to direct people to my web sight. I am making a TTRPG and I want people to be able to find my web sight easily so they can download character sheets, maps, and other content they might need. I purchased the web domain name as soon as I as finalized the name. I was wondering if this could be a kind of workaround or if there is something I don't know that would prevent that from working?
Hello I am also from India Kya aap mujhe bta skte h website publish krne ke baad woh Google ke kisi bhi page pr kb show hoti hai . After how many days ? please...
You are really a great man. Thanks for sharing such an important information I was so confused regarding these points which you shared. I didn’t found any such information about google sites which could give me a way what to do why to do n why not to do… some people says it’s good to make website on google sites but I dnt understand that why people usually not using google sites if it’s free and easy. Thanks for giving a perfect answer of my problem n queries at such level. I am a CZcamsr too I run a spiritual channel it’s Rays of happiness and also a small business entrepreneur. I was making my website for my business. N so I was vry confused wht to do n I got the answer. Nobody is making videos on google sites limitations but you nailed it. Grt job bro 👍👏🏻
sounds like it will be good for my uses. I needed a way to easily organize notes and information in a way that can be expanded and easily shared. Kinda like a mini version of wikipedia, but on a very specific topic for a small group of people.
The redirection issue can be solved through the domain configuration, which Google Sites clearly doesn't handle. Sure, they could implement it in some way, but it isn't in its scope of work.
I just got turned on to your channel recently and I am a big fan. I've had a blog for a year and a half that's finally making some consistent coin change every month. I'm starting a new website and want to have a more solid infrastructure built to accommodate for growth. Your videos are a big help. Keep it up!
Tell me about the redirection! I was going nuts for two weeks cuz I had purchased only a domain with the goal to forward it to my google site. Followed domain forwarding instructions carefully two times, and was getting the same error. I just checked it, and yay, it's working! :)
Thank you for this presentation. It is quite educative. However, I have a question: If one cannot google Adsense to google site, can one use it for affiliate marketing?
Menus…if not a page ( a different site) can you put it in the menu? Can you search across multiple Google sites in a domain without searching the entire web? I subscribe to Google suite….not sure if different.
The video is great, although I suggest you either take it down or update/replace it to reflect the latest correct information because some of the information you provide appears to now be outdated and so could confuse viewers.
Can I have content in my google sites website that has various affiliate links that point to other various destinations... like Amazon, etc. ? Does Google have a problem with this?
Thank you for making this video. Its been more than 2 years since you posted this piece and now I am curious whether there have been major or minor changes with google websites?
@@DavidUtke please do, i'm currently trying to decide if i need to change my small business page from google sites to something like zyro or gator. my page isn't showing up well on SEO and the page speed insights look like the load time is horrible (esp on mobile)due to all kinds of extra code that can't be changed either. The duplicate "home" page is still there and its screwing up not being able to set my homepage as canonical, which I'm guessing is messing up my SEO as well.
Hey David, thank you, the video was really helpful. I have another issue with google sites, it's that my images are blurry after I upload them in place. Do you know any way out or am I doing something wrong??
10:23 LOL that is not duplicate content, that's 2 assigned addresses for the same page. if you had duplicate content, you'd use up your allocated Google sites space a lot faster (which includes Gmail and Drive). i understand what you are saying but the way you explain it the newbie will think Google is wasting allocated space
@@utubestalker.dotcom You just need to listen to his words properly and rewind if you have to. He's not talking in another language. I hate social media platforms as they're so confusing when it comes to personal verse business but what he is saying is not like rocket science either
Hi David, thanks for this valuable video. I’ve tried Google sites too and I’d like to know if there’s a way to add a section in the posts for “Comments”. Also embedded links open in the same tab when clicked, and there’s no option to make it open on a separate tab. We’re you able to add “Share Buttons”?
David can you move away from a Squarespace hosted website completely and to a Google Site? Or do you have to keep the Squarespace hosting since my domain is G Suite domain is billed through my Squarespace account?
These are two totally different CMS. You can move away sure, but you'll need to copy and paste the content from Squarespace to Google Sites. A slow, tedious process depending on how complex the site is.
( 9:42 ) Its that way for an extremely important reason so blind people can have their readers read them the location they are currently at. Logo's will not tell a blind person trying to get around a website what page they are on. Hence why Home page links are created. ANYONE who creates a website that does not have a home page link, should be bopped on the head for being stupid. We have blind people on this planet, they have special readers that reads websites to them so they can navigate the site. How do you expect a disabled persons blind reader to read a logo ? Or how are blind people suppose to know that the logo is the way to home, if the reader does not read images without context for the reader.? When ever ANYONE creates a website, they ALWAYS have to remember that there are disabled people in this world, and the world doesnt revolve around just young healthy people.

Thanks for the informative video, David. Tell me, why do you say a Google website is not really for attracting a lot of traffic?
Let's assume that I have already developed an website using google site, Can it be used in offline mode? Does it have a database?

Yes, yes and yes.
what do recommend affiliate marketers to use, Google Sites, Wordpress etc etc ?
WordPress for sure.

For comments, you can use a platform called 'HTML Comment Box' - they give you an HTML code which you can copy and paste it on your Google Sites pages
How much storage i get on Google site? Like can i upload video and photos up to 100 gb?
Do we have to do anything else to be on search results with free google sites?
