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 right here on this blog. In future posts, we'll 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 our advice will
benefit small business and government sites as well. If you work for a non-profit and would like
us to consider your site, read on for submission instructions.
How to Submit Your Site
To register your site for our clinic, fill in the information requested on our
form.
From there, we will determine trends and share corresponding best practices to improve site
quality and user experience. Our analysis will be available in a follow-up post, and will adhere
to public standards of webmaster guidance. Please note that by submitting your site, you permit
us to use your site as an example in our follow-up site clinic posts.
We have a few guidelines:
Your site must belong to an officially registered non-profit organization.
To the best of your ability, make sure your site meets our
webmaster quality guidelines.
We will be using the same principles as a basis for our analysis.
The site clinic goes live today, and submissions will be accepted until Monday, November 8, 2010.
Stay tuned for some useful webmaster tips when we review the sites.
