Google makes a Webmaster Blog.

Amen to that.

And quite blaming us for all of your woes. Pages coming in/out of the index, 90% supplimental sites, the worthless site: command, subdomain spam, billlions and billions of pages, june/july 27th, are all massive screw ups that they show no sign of even addressing as a problem. Other than googleguy said the supplimental results will all be showing '06 cache dates soon. And then everyone at WMW kisses his butt in thanks for only allowing 8 month old data to show instead of 3 years, makes me want to vomit.

 

That seems in line with what they are offering here.

Imagine the webmaster that gets hooked on using this to straighten out Google. The webmaster has no clue how to direct all engines to one or the other via .htaccess? Perhaps only with redirecting to a specific page?

This tool only works for Google. Do they have a specific problem, maybe because of the crawl caching proxy servers picking up the non-www on a type-in, and it being used?

Is this the 'excellent service' - having to configure Googlebot to crawl your website like a normal spider would? Or is this the dumbing down of webmastery, 'Let us help those who haven't done enough research to understand how to run a website'? Perhaps it is just an attempt to include sites that are hosted in a manner to not allow canonical redirects...

All these seem like gateways to spam IMHO.

Honestly, I was afraid that Sitemaps was a tool that pointed Google down that road, but the statistics portion made it's own value, and that seemed to make it less dangerous.

 

Cool, Thanks for wonderfull information!

 

google seems to be creating lots of blogs these days instead of sorting out there mess.

 

Yes. Yes it is. Were you on vacation with Matt Cutts and Vanessa?

 

They do a decent job making the screenshots easy to use for understanding the webmasters section.

 

If it's not, can you explain why these two site URLs show this...

http://www.google.com/search?q=site:vgchat.com Crummy results, 113.
http://216.239.57.104/search?q=site:vgchat.com Good results, 37,100.

This is why every ones weight in the co-op got screwed. Google.com stinks, while datacenters are working just fine.

The co-op should be changed to search a datacenter instead of google.com. *hint*

 

nope! 37,100 for me on both the links

 

LOL yeah,, both are the same results.

i think we are query from different datacenter and google just give the different result depends on many variables.

 

Try:
http://72.14.203.104/
http://66.249.89.104/
with and without the www for a domain. Nintendo's example gives 22,000 vs. 37,000... there are more extreme examples. Try one that has a .htaccess 301 redirect from non-www to www versions of the domain.
Note that one shows the home page at #1, one shows an interior page at #1.

 

Bah!!! You guys get good results in google.com, and the co-op get the screwy results with hardly anything!!! I get 127 results right now!!!

 

I guess that would depend on how you define broken.

If you'd say that a watch that runs but does not keep the correct time is not "broken" it just needs "tweaked" then you'd likely not call Google broken.

When Google does not deliver search results in the manner in which they say they are supposed to be delivered, would you say they are "broken" or just need "tweaked"?

When text from an indexed and cached page is unsearchable, are they "broken" or is there something that needs to be "tweaked"?

I like that word... tweaked. Something isn't functioning the way it's supposed to so it simply needs tweaked.

Spin control semantics?

Also, tweaked, as in "Whoever thought up the whole BigDaddy mess was tweaked out of their skull!"

 

i like to blog.google always give special preff to blogger and blogger blogs are some time deleted by them and many are hacked.i hope they improve security first.
