Google SEO Report Card
Google Search is the most popular search engine in the world with a market share of at least 60% in most countries. It is therefore only natural that most webmasters optimize their websites for Google Search.
Search engine optimization has on the other hand no rulebook where everyone could get the information needed to optimize the website for the search engines.
There are literary millions of opinions on how to do SEO right. Most have some optimization techniques in common like placing a relevant keyword at the beginning of the page's title or acquiring niche relevant links from other websites.
But there are also many myths and half-true information that can get webmasters into trouble.
Google has released a SEO report card in pdf format which is concentrating on Google Product Pages but can be used for other websites as well. The main goals of the Google SEO Report Card are:
• help users find our pages more easily in search engines
• fix bugs that annoy visitors and hurt our pages' performance in search engines
• serve as a good model for outside webmasters and companies
The report is divided into three parts:
- Subject I: Search result presentation
- Subject II: URLs and redirects
- Subject III: On-page optimizations
The subjects and topics are listed in short form at the top and explained in detail afterwards. Experienced search engine optimizers will probably not find anything new in the listing but it can be very helpful for webmasters who just begin as a webmaster and those who want a straight answer from an authoritative source.
The Google SEO Report Card is provided as a download link at Google's Webmaster Blog.

Doesn’t Windows 8 know that www. or http:// are passe ?
Well it is a bit difficulty to distinguish between name.com domains and files for instance.
I know a service made by google that is similar to Google bookmarks.

@Ashwin–Thankful you delighted my comment; who knows how many “gamers” would have disagreed!
@Martin
The comments section under this very article (3 comments) is identical to the comments section found under the following article:
https://www.ghacks.net/2023/08/15/netflix-is-testing-game-streaming-on-tvs-and-computers/
Not sure what the issue is, but have seen this issue under some other articles recently but did not report it back then.
Omg a badge!!!
Some tangible reward lmao.
It sucks that redditors are going to love the fuck out of it too.
With the cloud, there is no such thing as unlimited storage or privacy. Stop relying on these tech scums. Purchase your own hardware and develop your own solutions.
This is a certified reddit cringe moment. Hilarious how the article’s author tries to dress it up like it’s anything more than a png for doing the reddit corporation’s moderation work for free (or for bribes from companies and political groups)
Almost al unlmited services have a real limit.
And this comment is written on the dropbox article from August 25, 2023.

For the God’s sake, fix the comments soon please! :[
Yes. Please. Fix the comments.
With Google Chrome, it’s only been 1,500 for some time now.
Anyone who wants to force me in such a way into buying something that I can get elsewhere for free will certainly never see a single dime from my side. I don’t even know how stupid their marketing department is to impose these limits on users instead of offering a valuable product to the paying faction. But they don’t. Even if you pay, you get something that is also available for free elsewhere.
The algorithm has also become less and less savvy in terms of e.g. English/German translations. It used to be that the bot could sort of sense what you were trying to say and put it into different colloquialisms, which was even fun because it was like, “I know what you’re trying to say here, how about…” Now it’s in parts too stupid to translate the simplest sentences correctly, and the suggestions it makes are at times as moronic as those made by Google Translations.
If this is a deep-learning AI that learns from users’ translations and the phrases they choose most often – which, by the way, is a valuable, moneys worthwhile contribution of every free user to this project: They invest their time and texts, thereby providing the necessary data for the AI to do the thing as nicely as they brag about it in the first place – alas, the more unprofessional users discovered the translator, the worse the language of this deep-learning bot has become, the greater the aggregate of linguistically illiterate users has become, and the worse the language of this deep-learning bot has become, as it now learns the drivel of every Tom, Dick and Harry out there, which is why I now get their Mickey Mouse language as suggestions: the inane language of people who can barely spell the alphabet, it seems.
And as a thank you for our time and effort in helping them and their AI learn, they’ve lowered the limit from what was once 5,000 to now 1,500…? A big “fuck off” from here for that! Not a brass farthing from me for this attitude and behaviour, not in a hundred years.
