I want to thank Lenn Harley, Active Rain member, for the inspiration for today's post. Lenn posted a comment on my recent members only blog, A Rose by Any Other Name is a Domain Name, letting me know that Google was not only a woman, but was just like Mom. In case you missed it, here is the quote:
"Google is a woman. Google is just like Mom. She gives and she takes and forgives and teaches and rewards. Google juice flows when we are good. Just like Mom."
I wanted to let everyone know that Mother Google has some excellent methods for teaching her children. Google offers a FREE 22 page PDF search engine optimization guide. Included in the PDF file is an introduction to search engine optimization, how to create pages that search engines like, optimizing META tags, tips on web site design, how to create custom 404 error pages, linking and the use of web site analytics.
Here is the link to get your very own copy of Mother Google juice: Search Engine Optimization Starter Guide. The Google Search Quality Team says the guide will be continually updated to keep up with the ever changing world of the web.
Mother Google, like all good moms, lets her children know exactly what she expects of them. Mother Google gladly shares with you on her Webmasters/Site Owners Help page. You will find links to tools, articles and guidelines for design and content, technical issues and quality. The Webmasters/Site Owners help page also offers newcomers a link to submit their site and site map to Google for indexing.
On Mother Google's Webmaster Tools page, you can learn how Mom likes to see you on the web. Mother Google offers many free tools for analyzing your website on the Webmaster Central page. To take advantage of these freely given tools, just create a Google Account.
