Google Currency Converter

Converting currencies is one of the Google Search tricks I didn’t know before. I just became familiar when I saw Chris using it.

Chris is an American who worked here in the Philippines for a few months. Sometimes though, his mother still sent him money in his bank account, which were of course in US dollars. So, for him to know how much it would be in peso that time he just googled it. So for example, his mom sent him 300 dollars, he would type in the search box the keywords 300 usd in php. When I did the search, here is the result.

Here are other examples:

So, I started converting currency in Google since the time I noticed Chris. I used it though in converting my AdSense earnings to local currency, and if someone sends me payment in US dollars, payment for the articles I have written for their websites.

  2. I’ve read a lot of stuff related to trading in ebooks and blog posts and the majority of it is clearly misleading. It’s so tricky to identify quality information that’s based on actual facts and not merely the next guy’s opinion.
