Today we're happy to announce an updated version of our
Webmaster Quality Guidelines.
Both our basic quality guidelines and many of our more specific articles (like those on
links schemes
or hidden text)
have been reorganized and expanded to provide you with more information about how to create
quality websites for both users and Google.
The main message of our quality guidelines hasn't changed: Focus on the user. However, we've
added more guidance and examples of behavior that you should avoid in order to keep your site
in good standing with Google's search results. We've also added a set of
quality and technical guidelines for rich snippets,
as structured markup is becoming increasingly popular.
We hope these updated guidelines will give you a better understanding of how to create and
maintain Google-friendly websites.
