We're always looking for new ways to help educate our fellow webmasters. While you may already be familiar with
Webmaster Tools,
Webmaster Help Discussion Groups, this blog, and our
Help Center, we've added another tutorial to help you understand how Google works. Hence we've made this video of a soon-to-come presentation titled "Google for Webmasters." This video will introduce how Google discovers, crawls, indexes your site's pages, and how Google displays them in search results. It also touches lightly upon challenges webmasters and search engines face, such as
duplicate content, and the effective indexing of
Flash and
AJAX content. Lastly, it also talks about the benefits of offerings
Webmaster Central and other useful Google products.
Take a look for yourself.
