I'm seeking suggestions for how I can improve my Google quiz, which
you can find online at www.googleguide.com/quiz.html .  I'm interested
in spelling and wording corrections, ideas for amusing incorrect
answers, thoughts for additional questions, and any other ideas for
how I can make my quiz fun and educational.

I think your quiz and overall site is a very handy idea. However, I
felt the quiz was to long.

I would have preferred if there were multiple short quizzes that group
questions let say in terms of Web/Desktop Searches, Localised
Services, Marketing Services & Imaging Tools & Collaboration &
Communication Tools e.t.c.

This would then allow the quizzes to be flexible to the users
immediate needs. Therefore, catering for a larger audience without
frightening them away.

Otherwise good work, I have put a link to your site on my new blog

Since this is just one of few recent questions about Google, perhaps
it is worth mentioning that apparently GA-software automatically locks
questions that include the name, hence the use of "g**gle" and the
like in questions.

g4-africa=ga, I like your suggestion.  Thanks for your feedback.

myoarin-ga, thanks for your comment.  Are you suggesting that if I
don't want my question locked and reviewed by Google, I can use
"g**gle" instead of the word "google"?

Yes, I believe so, but no promises; just seems to be the case in the past.

Wow, the Google Guide just gets better and better!  Thanks so much for
reminding me to check back more frequently.  I love the Google Quiz,
although as another commenter suggested, --it's too long.  I suggest
topical single page quizzes, 10 questions per page or so. I didn't
have time to take the whole thing because of Thanksgiving cooking, but
I will soon.  If I notice anything else I'll mention it here.

Thankfully readers/users email me wonderful feedback.  I revise Google
Guide incorporating many of  the suggestions I receive.  For example,
a user suggested that I develop a Google cheat sheet with the advanced
operators that are included in Google Guide, which I did as you can
see if you visit http://www.googleguide.com/advanced_operators_reference.html

Please do.
