In Google’s last update they have reinforced their web master guidelines by blocking some of the main DIY software applications such as Web Ceo and Web Position Gold.

Google doesn’t like automated software accessing its search engine as it uses resources and slows things up so you can understand why they are keen to stomp it out but people also want to know where they are ranking so we have an issue.

This is causing seo’s in general big problems as many applications seem to have been hit but I am sure when these big companies put their heads together they will find a fix.

There are still applications that can get through but it means that people will now more than ever need to ensure they follow Google’s guidelines to avoid getting their IP’s blocked.

The world is Google! Well not quite but it is very much getting that way. It seems more and more often now when I talk to people they don’t seem to talk about getting their website noticed on the Internet the interest is getting their website noticed on Google.

While this is quite short sighted in my opinion as at any point the tables can turn I do understand why, after all over 70% of search engine share is currently controlled by Google.

So how do you get in on the action? well you need to get marketing your website the the search engines. The decision you have to make is do you want to do it yourself? in which case there are various different methods a good book, YouTube or just good forums. Or if you dont have time to do it yourself you can hire a professional like me to do the hard work for you.

So the choice is yours how do you want to get noticed on Google?

Google has now introduced and new feature that will enable you to add video sitemaps. This will enable you to give Google more information on the videos you have including META data which will help to make them more searchable via the Google video search.

To submit video sitemaps to Google you just need to use your add sitemaps function within your Google Webmaster Tools.
