Introducing the Webmaster Academy

Are you SMBs ready to get back to college? Google has made finding information on how to get your site up, running, & ranked in the dominate search engine by listing your needs in a syllabus-like platform in their new Webmaster Academy. Finding information on how to run your SMB & understanding the terminology can get a little stressful so Google made it simpler for you to find all your needs. The new Webmaster Academy is, "designed to walk business owners through the information they need to get their site up and running in easy to understand steps," says Garen Checkly from the Google Support Quality Team. The Academy covers topics such as:


  • Adding your site to Webmaster page 
  • Using Google + (everyone needs one of these by now)
  • What makes great content
  • How to get online free
  • & Creating a Google Places page (ALL SMBs need a Google Places page)
This list goes on. Once you click into on of the categories, Google will give you a tutorial on the topic, with key terms & processes, & links to additional resources. Can't get more like college than that! You're also able to "graduate" the Webmaster Academy by clicking all 19 sessions & Google will see you wanted that A for effort.
The grade really matters when you put all that learned into your site & see the information that you learned pay off. So follow the instructions & watch your ranking & visitor count go up.
