Google just added two new tools, “Related links” and “Script Converter” to Google labs.

Related links, the name is pretty self-explanatory. It’s a widget that shows all the related links/articles/content that’s published on a particular domain.

WordPress and other CMS package plugins have been offering this plugin since ages now. The only difference is that Googles gadget as expected queries Google search instead of quering the blogs database.

This tools is not available publically yet its only available for invited users. You can send an e-mail to relatedlinks@google.com with the following information to get an invite.

Domain URL:
Invite e-mail address:
Page Views Per Day:

The management area of the tool lets you black list URLs, Filter prefixes and suffixes, etc. Following image shows what the widget looks like..

Notice the link “Document Search” which is a tag URL. One feature that’s missing is that it does not let you blacklist wildcards but it lets you filter a specific URL only. Blacklisting is not that helpful if you have about 2k tags.

Script Converter lets you convert the language script of any English site to one of the 9 Indian languages or the other way round.

9 Indian languages include Bengali, Gujarati, Hindi, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Nepali and Tamil.

The following image shows Tnerd converted to Tamil. For some reason all the ads on the site are converted to Chinese script.
