Official news on crawling and indexing sites for the Google index
A Festivus for our webmasterus
Friday, December 21, 2007
Written by Maile Ohye
If it's good enough for the Costanzas, it's good enough for Webmaster Central: it's time for a
Festivus for the rest of us
(webmasterus)!
Our special celebration begins not with carols and eggnog, but by remembering some of the popular
Webmaster Tools
features -- make that
Feats of Strength
-- for 2007. This year, you gained the ability to
chickity-check out your backlinks
(<-- that's Festivus-inspired anchor text) and tell Google you want out with
URL Removal
. And let's not forget
Message Center
and
IDNA support
, perfect for those times when [a-zA-Z0-9\-] just doesn't cut it.
Feel the power! Festivus Feats of Strength!
Now comes our webmaster family's traditional
Airing of Grievances
. You can air your woes and "awww man!"s in the comments below. Just remember that bots may crawl this blog, but we humans review the comments, so please keep your grievances constructive. :) Let us know about features you'd like implemented in Webmaster Tools, articles you'd like written in our blog or Help Center, and stuff you'd like to see in the discussion group. Bonus points if you also explain how your suggestion helps the whole Internet—not just your site's individual rankings. (But of course, we understand that your site ranking number one for all queries in all regions is truly, objectively good for everyone.)
Last, there are so many
Festivus Miracles
to share! Such as the many
helpful members of the discussion group
from all around the world, the new friendships formed between Susan Moskwa, JohnMu, Wysz, Matt D, Bergy, Patrick, Nathanj and so many webmasters, and the fun of chatting with our
video watchers
,
fellow conference attendees
, and those in the blogosphere keepin' it real.
On behalf of the entire Webmaster Central team, here's to you, Festivus Miracle and Time Magazine's Person of the Year in 2006 -- happy holidays. See you in 2008. :)
