Google Publishes a Best Practice SEO GuideIn a slightly surprising move, Google has launched via its webmaster central blog a best practice guide for search engine optimization.  Why surprising you may ask? Well, Google is notorious for being pretty quiet on this front leaving it to SEO’s, designers, and developers to figure out what works best.

This being so, professional SEO’s needn’t be too concerned as it very much a basic guide and more useful to small business owners looking for ‘just the basics’. I quote…

“Our Search Engine Optimization Starter Guide covers around a dozen common areas that webmasters might consider optimizing. We felt that these areas (like improving title and description meta tags, URL structure, site navigation, content creation, anchor text, and more) would apply to webmasters of all experience levels and sites of all sizes and types.”

All hail the mighty Google.

    Its great to have something authoritative you can throw infront of people and explain the nitty gritty tho it does miss the mark on many points which ive tried to expand upon on my blog ( http://www.markrushworth.com/t.....asp?id=268 )

    For me it was suprisingly too to see that Google announces a guide to SEO from their own. Interesting step that they made. As the announced on their weblog they are going to maintain this guide and update it accordingly.

    It is surprising at first but let’s just take that opportunity to optimize our sight the right way- the Google way. At least we are no longer in the dark.
