Understanding the Google webmaster guidelines

This website is for those who want to follow the Google webmaster guidelines, but seek more definitions, explanations and examples than Google provides in their documentation.

We describe each guideline in terms that almost anyone can understand.

Some of the terms and concepts of the guidelines may seem confusing. For example, one of the guidelines says that your TITLE and ALT tags should be descriptive and accurate. If you don't know what those are you can't correct them. Even if you know what they are, a basic understanding of why they are important will likely help you improve the ones on your website.

 

We provide a detailed look at each guideline by defining the terms that are used, explaining the concepts and providing examples of common violations.

 

Most websites are not following some of the Google guidelines, and many of the mistakes they are making are simple and easily correctable. This website is written with the new webmaster in mind but many of the descriptions and examples of common mistakes can be useful to webmasters of any level.
