Googlers often participate in live site clinics at conferences, giving advice about real-world sites and allowing webmasters to learn by example. Now Google's Search Quality team is excited to host an online site clinic on the Webmaster Central Blog . In future posts, the Search Quality team will be looking at some user-submitted examples and offering broad advice that you can apply to your site.
This site clinic will focus on non-profit organizations, but chances are that the advice will benefit small business and government sites as well. If you work for a non-profit and would like your site considered, read on for submission instructions.
How to submit your site:
To register your site for the clinic, fill in the information requested on this form . From there, the team will determine trends and share corresponding best practices to improve site quality and user experience. The analysis will be available in a follow-up post, and will adhere to the public standards of webmaster guidance. Please note that by submitting your site, you permit the team to use your site as an example in follow-up clinic posts.
There are a few guidelines:
1. Your site must belong to an officially registered non-profit organization.
2. In order to ensure that you're the site owner, you must verify ownership of your site in Google Webmaster Tools. You can do that (for free) here .
3. To the best of your ability, make sure your site meets the webmaster quality guidelines . The team will be suing the same principles as the basis for their analysis.
All set? Submit your site for consideration here .
The site clinic goes live today and submissions will be accepted until 11/18/2010. Stay tuned for some useful webmaster tips when the sites are reviewed.
