Official news on crawling and indexing sites for the Google index
In-depth articles in search results
Tuesday, August 06, 2013
Webmaster level: all
Users often turn to Google to answer a quick question, but
research suggests
that up to 10% of users’ daily information needs involve learning about a broad topic. That’s why today we’re introducing new search results to help users find
in-depth articles
.
These results are ranked algorithmically based on many signals that look for high-quality, in-depth content. You can help our algorithms understand your pages better by following these recommendations:
use
schema.org “article”
markup,
provide
authorship
markup,
rel=next and rel=prev
for paginated articles (also watch out for
common rel=canonical mistakes
),
provide information about your
organization’s logo
,
and of course, create compelling in-depth content.
Following these best practices along with our
webmaster guidelines
helps our systems to better understand your website’s content, and improves the chances of it appearing in this new set of search results.
The in-depth articles feature is rolling out now on google.com in English. For more information, check out our
help center article
, and feel free to post in the comments in our forums.
