A feature that many webmasters will be happy to know about is the notification of violations. No longer will they be left in the dark about what is happening. They will know if they have violated the webmaster guidelines and why.
The rules are pretty simple. Create your site that is truly helpful to your users and avoid doing naughty things just to increase your ranking. Linking to bad sites, hidden texts or links, installing viruses, trojans or other ?badware? are just a few of the reasons why your URL will not be included in any Google index.
You don't even need to look far to know if you have a violation. Google notifies you directly on the summary page of your account. They also place a link to webmaster's guidelines so you can double check that your site is once again in proper form to be included in Google's index ? this is the second new feature.
Google does not want to exclude any sites that are good. It is possible that the violations were unintentional. It may even be that the webmasters truly have overlooked some items on their site. Google says clean it up and get the chance to be re-included.
Re-inclusion is absolutely simple and easy. Once you see the violation notification, check what needs to be fixed. Correct the item that Google felt is a violation of their rules. Now all you need to do is click on the request reinclusion link on your summary page, or the link at the Google Sitemap home page, and fill out the form. Just don't forget that you don't need to request reinclusion if you haven't received a violation.
If you're a new webmaster and need a helping hand, Google has a help center for webmasters. It has all the information you need to know about Google Sitemaps. If you have questions about Googlebot, crawling, indexing, ranking and the like, this is the place to go. If the answer you're looking for isn't there, no worries; the Google Sitemaps community is there to interact with as well.
By the way, not everybody by the way receives a notification of violation. Google has chosen not to notify certain webmasters of their penalty in certain cases. For example, they will not notify a spammer that he's been caught. Doing so will only alert him that they have caught on to his game and possibly trigger his making even sneakier ways to get in.
On the whole, these improvements are wonderful additions and long overdue. Google really wants to improve their services and the best way is for people to keep using their products and giving feedback. The team behind Google is definitely listening.
Translate Most websites are available in English, a fair number are only written in other languages. If you find you need to read one and don’t want to take a crash language course, then Google can act as a translator for Italian, French, German, Portuguese and Spanish. The language tools web page has two translation methods. The first translates a phrase that you type or paste in. The second translates an entire website. The results aren’t perfect but it’s usually enough to get the gist of what’s written. Google will allow you to translate any document from their search results by the click of a link. What might be less obvious is that they might enable you to search foreign languages in your native language. All translating would be done behind-the-scenes, so that when you search for “thus spoke", you might as well get results which only contain “also sprach."
Spreadsheets If you want to invest in an office suite for just using a spreadsheet, Google has a solution. With the Google Online Spreadsheet you can create, store and share spreadsheets on the web just like using any offline spreadsheet application. You can also import any existing spreadsheet, and above all, you can access it from any corner of the world. Google’s spreadsheet app is supposed to be less sophisticated than offline competitor Excel, it puts a focus on easy sharing and group-editing of documents.
Calendar Google allows users to synchronize their Gmail contacts with a web-based calendar. It became available on April 13, 2006, and is currently in beta stages. While users are not required to have a Gmail account, they are required to have a free Google account in order to use the software. You can also create invitations, send reminders and keep track of RSVPs right inside Google Calendar. You can also create a calendar and link it to your website or blog for others to view the events or holidays. Pages If you want to create your online presence Google can help you. With Google pages you can create a free home page for yourself without the knowledge of any programming or HTML. Moreover a 100MB of space for your web site is good for a start-up.
Now that we’ve shown you how to use Google’s more advanced features, you will probably be pleased to know that they can be used in conjunction with each other, thanks to the Tabs on the Google website. For example, if you were performing a search for books on the web, you can just click on the Groups tab to move the search to internet newsgroups.
