- And you can write articles on the website.
You can also connect a registered domain to the Google site, and have the website indexed by Google.
So, what does this all mean to you?
It means that the Google Sites are capable of getting traffic, if you built the site out with your best efforts and promoted it like a normal website.
You could potentially earn money using a Google site and it’s completely free.
Either way, Google sites, is a one page website builder offered by the Big G, Google.
If you have a Gmail account, then you’ll have access to this website builder.
