Calling All SEOs and Webmasters: Google Wants You
Click to enlarge
Now through Sept. 30th, Google is looking once again to its community of developers to help guide others and contribute short tutorial videos to their Webmaster Central YouTube channel. The basic requirements are as follows:
- Keep the video short: Approximately 3-5 minutes.
- Think small: A short video is a good way to showcase your use of Top Search Queries, but not long enough to highlight an entire SEO strategy.
- Focus on a real-life example of how you used a particular feature: For example, you could show how you used link data to research your brand, or crawl errors to diagnose problems with your site structure. Do you have a great tip or recommendation?
(Go here for a complete list of requirements and submit all videos through their help center.)
This is not the first time Google has reached out, nor is it something new to the industry. The site is billed as a one-stop shop for webmaster resources that helps with crawling and indexing questions, as well as introducing offerings to enhance and increase site traffic. The YouTube channel has more than 5,000 subscribers and 113 uploaded tutorials since launching in January.
