salam every one, this is a topic from google web master centrale blog: Welcome to 2007! The webmaster central team is very excited about our plans for this year, but we thought we'd take a moment to reflect on 2006. We had a great year building communication with you, the webmaster community, and creating tools based on your feedback. Many on the team were able to come out to conferences and met some of you in person, and we're looking forward to meeting many more of you in 2007. We've also had great conversations and gotten valuable feedback in our discussion forum, and we hope this blog has been helpful in providing information to you.
We said goodbye to the Sitemaps blog and launched this broader blog in August. And after doing so, our number of unique monthly visitors more than doubled. Thanks! We got much of our non-Google traffic from other webmaster community blogs and forums, such as the Search Engine Watch blog, Google Blogoscoped, and WebmasterWorld. In December, seomoz.org and the new Searchengineland.com were our biggest non-Google referrers. And social networking sites such as digg.com, reddit,com, del.icio.us, and slashdot.org sent webmaster tools many of our visitors, and a blog by somebody named Matt Cutts sent a lot of referrers our way as well. And these are the top Google queries that visitors clicked on:  Our most popular post was about the Googlebot activity reports and crawl rate control that we launched in October, followed by details about how to authenticate Googlebot. We have only slightly more Firefox users (46.28%) than Internet Explorer users (46.25%). 89% of you use Windows. After English, our readers most commonly speak French, German, Japanese, and Spanish. And after the United States, our readers primarily come from the UK, Canada, Germany, and France. Here's some of what we did last year. January We expanded into Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, and Finnish. You could hear Matt on webmaster radio. February We lauched several new features, including:
You could hear me on webmaster radio. March We launched a few more features, including:
April We got a whole new look and added yet more features, such as:
We met more of you at the Google Sitemaps lunch at Boston Pubcon. Matt talked about the new caching proxy. We talked to many of you at SES Toronto. May Matt introduced you to our new search evangelist, Adam Lasnik. We hung out with some of you in our hometown at Search Engine Watch Live Seattle and over at SES London. June We launched user surveys, to learn more about how you interact with webmaster tools. We expanded some of our features, such as:
July We expanded into Polish. We began supporting the <meta name="robots" content="noodpt"> tag to allow you to opt out of using Open Directory titles and descriptions for your site in the search results. We had a great time talking to many of you about international issues at SES Latino in Miami. August August was an exciting month for us, as we launched webmaster central! As part of that, we renamed Google Sitemaps to webmaster tools, expanded our Google Group to include all types of webmaster topics, and expanded the help content in our webmaster help center. We also launched some new features, including:
September We improved reporting of the cache date in search results. We provided a way for you to authenticate Googlebot. And we started updating query stats more often and for a shorter timeframe. October We launched several new features, such as:
November We launched sitemaps.org, for joint support of the Sitemaps protocol between us, Yahoo!, and Microsoft. We also started notifying you if we flagged your site for badware and if you're an English news publisher included in Google News, we made News Sitemaps available to you. Partied with lots of you at "Safe Bets with Google" at Pubcon Las Vegas. We introduced you to our new Sitemaps support engineer, Maile Ohye, and our first webmaster trends analyst, Jonathan Simon. Dec We met even more of you at the webmaster central lunch at SES Chicago. Thanks for spending the year with us. We look forward to even more collaboration and communication in the coming year.this is a topic published in 2013... to get contents for your blog or your forum, just contact me at: devnasser@gmail.com |
