A certain grapevine was going on that Google’s webmaster trends team is sending certain mail letters to a diverse group of Sitemap users who have always been very active in the forums of Google Webmaster help.
The letters read in the following way:
- <url>
- <loc>
- http://www.google.com/webmasters
- </loc>
- <created>
- 2006-08-04
- </created>
- <priority>
- Help webmasters create great sites.
- </priority>
- </url>
Let me tell you that it is a great gesture for everyone! But as such, I am not sure because I don’t have any proof as far as the pictures are concerned.

According to the Official Google Online Security Blog, Google has tried to explain as to what is the significance of the contents that we usually witness while doing Google Search.
“This site may harm your computer”
You may have seen those words in Google search results — but what do they mean? If you click the search result link you get another warning page instead of the website you were expecting. But if the web page was your grandmother’s baking blog, you’re still confused. Surely your grandmother hasn’t been secretly honing her l33t computer hacking skills at night school. Google must have made a mistake and your grandmother’s web page is just fine…

Great! Google is here to help all webmasters out there. The search engine has come up with an idea to teach all the users the basics of the “Internet world.”
Below is what Google said in a recent post at the Official Google Webmaster Blog:
“Today we’re going back to basics. We’ll be answering the question: What is a website?
…Okay, not exactly. But we will be looking into what a “website” means in the context of Webmaster Tools, what kind of sites you can add to your Webmaster Tools account, and what data you can get from different types of sites.

Surfing the web to find out the desired page and what if one page that looks like the desired result, but asks for a log-in? Isn’t it the most frustrating thing for a web user? I think many people don’t want to come across such a page, which asks for money in turn of providing them the information.
But, recently, Google has come up with an idea with a program called “First Click Free”, through which such pages would allow searchers to pass the registration and subscription barriers and publishers would give a free preview of their sites.

It’s great to know that, now webmasters will be able to access any language, thanks to “Google Translate,” the inevitable tool. In an effort to vanish the language barrier that had always existed in the web world, Google has come up with new tool that translates any language of the content.
Below is what the Official Google Webmaster Central Blog has to say about the issue:
“When webmasters put content out on the web it’s there for the world to see.
Unfortunately, most content on the web is only published in a single language, understandable by only a fraction of the world’s population.

What we think about “Inbound Links” that these help in generating massive traffic to websites in some what true. In a recent post at the official Google Webmaster Central Blog, Google has come up with pros and cons of Inbound Links. Know more of it, while going through what Google has to say on this:
“Inbound links are links from pages on external sites linking back to your site. Inbound links can bring new users to your site, and when the links are merit-based and freely-volunteered as an editorial choice, they’re also one of the positive signals to Google about your site’s importance. Other signals include things like our analysis of your site’s content, its relevance to a geographic location, etc.

Now, we all know that Google’s Quality Score is live. But, of late, the search engine talked about how to use the new feature and how to improve your score.
AdWordsPro Sarah says:
Accounts feeling crowded? Wondering when enough keywords is enough? It might be time for an account clean up. This gives you the chance to look at all of your keywords to see which ones are adding value to the account and which are just sitting around collecting dust.

Google has introduced a new tool, called Moderator, which is designed for submitting and voting on the questions related to Google’s tech talks. The tool allows anyone to submit a question, and then permits other people to vote on the quality of the question.
According to Google’s Matt Cutts, this tool was called Dory internally, and is used by the Google employees during “tech talks or company-wide meetings”.

As far as my views are concerned, it’s Static URLs that I would say are better than Dynamic URLs. Here are some reasons to clarify my point:
- 1.Static URLs rank better in search engines than Dynamic URLs.
- 2.It has been said ( Not sure) that, dynamic pages are indexed slowly in search engines as compared to static pages.
- 3.Static URLs are user friendly.
Here is what the Official Google Webmaster Central Blog says regarding the issue:
What is a static URL?
A static URL is one that does not change, so it typically does not contain any url parameters. It can look like this:http://www.example.com/archive/january.htm.

Of late, a post has been surfaced at WebmasterWorld by Tedster, the administrator of the WebmasterWorld, regarding an updated Google patent named Information retrieval based on historical data.
Below are some of the excerpts from the recent thread:
…if the content of a document changes such that it differs significantly from the anchor text associated with its back links, then the domain associated with the document may have changed significantly (completely) from a previous incarnation. This may occur when a domain expires and a different party purchases the domain… All links and/or anchor text prior to that date may then be ignored or discounted.
