  • Intro to Google for the Hill
    Introduction to A company built on search Our mission Google’s mission is to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful. As a first step to fulfilling this mission, Google’s founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin developed a new approach to online search that took root in a Stanford University dorm room and quickly spread to information seekers around the globe. The Google search engine is an easy-to-use, free service that consistently returns relevant results in a fraction of a second. What we do Google is more than a search engine. We also offer Gmail, maps, personal blogging, and web-based word processing products to name just a few. YouTube, the popular online video service, is part of Google as well. Most of Google’s services are free, so how do we make money? Much of Google’s revenue comes through our AdWords advertising program, which allows businesses to place small “sponsored links” alongside our search results. Prices for these ads are set by competitive auctions for every search term where advertisers want their ads to appear. We don’t sell placement in the search results themselves, or allow people to pay for a higher ranking there. In addition, website managers and publishers take advantage of our AdSense advertising program to deliver ads on their sites. This program generates billions of dollars in revenue each year for hundreds of thousands of websites, and is a major source of funding for the free content available across the web. Google also offers enterprise versions of our consumer products for businesses, organizations, and government entities.

  • Web Site Metadata
    Web Site Metadata Erik Wilde and Anuradha Roy School of Information UC Berkeley Abstract. Understanding the availability of site metadata on the Web is a foundation for any system or application that wants to work with the pages published by Web sites, and also wants to understand a Web site’s structure. There is little information available about how much information Web sites make available about themselves, and this paper presents data addressing this question. Based on this analysis of available Web site metadata, it is easier for Web-oriented applications to be based on statistical analysis rather than assumptions when relying on Web site metadata. Our study of robots.txt files and sitemaps can be used as a starting point for Web-oriented applications wishing to work with Web site metadata. 1 Introduction This paper presents first results from a project which ultimately aims at pro- viding accessible Web site navigation for Web sites [1]. One of the important intermediary steps is to understand how much metadata about Web sites is made available on the Web today, and how much navigational information can be extracted from that metadata. Our long-term goal is to establish a standard way for Web sites to expose their navigational structure, but since this is a long-term goal with a long adoption process, our mid-term goal is establish a third-party service that provides navigational metadata about a site as a service to users interested in that information. A typical scenario would be blind users; they typically have difficulties to navigate Web sites, because most usability and accessibility methods focus on Web pages rather than Web sites.

  • SEO 101: a V9 Version of Google's Webmaster Guidelines
    SEO 101: A V9 Version of Google's Webmaster Guidelines March 2016 The Basics Google’s Webmaster Guidelines have been published for years, but they recently underwent some major changes. They outline basics on what you need to do to get your site indexed, ranked and not tanked. But what if I don’t wanna follow the guidelines? A rebel, eh? Well, some of the guidelines are best practices that can help Google crawl and index your site - not always required, but a good idea. Other guidelines (specifically quality guidelines), if ignored, can earn you a hefty algorithmic or manual action - something that can lower your ranking or get you kicked out of the SERPs entirely. Google breaks the guidelines up into three sections - we’ll do the same. ● Design and content guidelines ● Technical guidelines ● Quality guidelines Before doing anything, take a gut check: ● Would I do this if search engines didn’t exist? ● Am I making choices based on what would help my users? ● Could I explain this strategy to my competitor or my mama and with confidence? ● If my site went away tomorrow, what would the world be missing? Am I offering something unique and valuable? 1 Updated March 2016 Now, Let’s Get Your Site Indexed Make Sure Your Site is Crawlable ● Check www.yourdomain.com/robots.txt ● Make sure you don’t see: User-agent: * Disallow: / ● A robots.txt file that allows bots to crawl everything would look like: User-agent: * Disallow: ● Learn more! Make Sure You’re Allowing Google to Include Pages in their Index ● Check for and remove any meta tags that noindex pages: <meta name="robots" content="noindex" /> ● Do a Fetch as Google in Search Console and check the header for x-robots: noindex directives that need to be removed X-Robots-Tag: noindex ● Learn more! 2 Updated March 2016 Submit Your Site to Google When ready, check out Google’s options for submitting content.

  • Efficient and Flexible Access to Datasets on the Semantic
    Semantic Sitemaps: Efficient and Flexible Access to Datasets on the Semantic Web Richard Cyganiak, Holger Stenzhorn, Renaud Delbru, Stefan Decker, and Giovanni Tummarello Digital Enterprise Research Institute (DERI), National University Ireland, Galway Abstract. Increasing amounts of RDF data are available on the Web for consumption by Semantic Web browsers and indexing by Semantic Web search engines. Current Semantic Web publishing practices, however, do not directly support efficient discovery and high-performance retrieval by clients and search engines. We propose an extension to the Sitemaps protocol which provides a simple and effective solution: Data publishers create Semantic Sitemaps to announce and describe their data so that clients can choose the most appropriate access method. We show how this protocol enables an extended notion of authoritative information across different access methods. Keywords: Sitemaps, Datasets, RDF Publishing, Crawling, Web, Search, Linked Data, SPARQL. 1 Introduction Data on the Semantic Web can be made available and consumed in many dif- ferent ways. For example, an online database might be published as one single RDF dump. Alternatively, the recently proposed Linked Data paradigm is based on using resolvable URIs as identifiers to offer access to individual descriptions of resources within a database by simply resolving the address of the resources itself [1]. Other databases might offer access to its data via a SPARQL endpoint that allows clients to submit queries using the SPARQL RDF query language and protocol. If several of these options are offered simultaneously for the same database, the choice of access method can have significant effects on the amount of networking and computing resources consumed on the client and the server side.

  • Copy of Google Sitemap App
    Copy of Google Sitemap app The Google Sitemap app creates an XML Sitemap file that lists URLs for each page. Sitemaps are used to tell search engines which pages they should index. This improves search engine optimization (SEO) by ensuring that all site pages are found and indexed. This is particularly important for sites that use dynamic access to content such as Adobe Flash and for sites that have JavaScript menus that do not include HTML links. Where navigation is built with Flash, a search engine will probably find the site homepage automatically, but may not find subsequent pages unless they are provided in a Google Sitemap format. Note that using Google Sitemaps does not guarantee that all links will be crawled, and even crawling does not guarantee indexing. Nevertheless, a Google Sitemap is still the best insurance for visibility in search engines. Webmasters can include additional information about each URL, such as when it was last updated, how often it changes, and how important it is in relation to other URLs in the site. Google Sitemaps adhere to the Sitemaps protocol and are ready to be submitted to search engines. Creating a sitemap Editing sitemap entries Editing virtual URI entries Publishing Viewing the sitemap Adding to robots.txt file Submitting to search engines Creating a sitemap To create a new sitemap, in Google Sitemaps (browser subapp): Click Add sitemap. You can also arrange your sitemaps in folders. In Site Map Properties: Name: The internal name of the sitemap. URI: The URI that renders the sitemap. Include Virtual URIs: Select to include any defined virtual URIs.

  • SEO for Mobile How Do You Let Google Know About the Mobile Version of Your Site? (Onsite Optimisation)
    SEO for Mobile How do you let Google know about the mobile version of your site? (Onsite Optimisation) As a follow-up to the previous post on “Why care about SEO for Mobile” (http://toolbox.schibsted.com/?p=13178), we will start with some onsite optimisation tactics mostly technical with some similarities on the desktop optimisation. Before we think of how we will rank significantly on the mobile search engines, it is a great need if we think first of how do we appear on search engines. Here we will cover actions that will affect the indexation of our mobiles urls and be discoverable by the search engines. #1 Submission to Google Webmaster tools Verify Your Mobile Site in Google Webmastertools, the same way as how you verify on the desktop version. This works for mobile sites with separate mobile urls and it’s very helpful for getting data specifically about the mobile site. Just log on to your google webmaster tools account and select the add site. There you will see the procedures provided by Google on how to verify your site. Webmastertools login page: http://goo.gl/ZIRWE #2 Mobile URLs Two types of mobile website: Responsive Web design Sites that use responsive web design, i.e. sites that serve all devices on the same set of URLs, with each URL serving the same HTML to all devices and using just CSS to change how the page is rendered on the device. Websites with Separate Mobile URLs (Used by some SCM websites) In this configuration, each desktop URL has an equivalent different URL serving mobile- optimized content.
