One of the things that haunt new webmasters is the less know-how of how Google wants the basics in their web site to be. Now, webmasters needn’t be worried about not doing the basics correct because Google has released its official Search Engine Optimization Starter Guide. (Right Click to download).
GoogleWebMasterCentral blog states:
We thought it’d be useful to create a compact guide that lists some best practices that teams within Google and external webmasters alike can follow that could improve their sites’ crawlability and indexing.
Google does not give away its algorithm secrets in this document but Google’s Search Engine Optimization Starter guide aims to provide webmasters with the basic ideas of improving title and description meta tags, URL structure, site navigation, content creation, anchor text etc. Although Google says this guide is meant for webmasters of all sizes, new or old, but as the guide focuses on basic areas only, I think seasoned webmasters are already doing everything stated in the guide correctly, so this SEO guide would be more useful to the newbie webmasters who want to start on the road to SEO.
Happy SEOing.
