Google Webmaster Central Blog - Official news on crawling and indexing sites for the Google index

Introducing the Google Webmaster Central YouTube Channel

Monday, February 23, 2009 at 12:30 PM

In his State of the Index presentation, Matt Cutts said that one of the things to look for from Google in 2009 is continued communication with webmasters. On the Webmaster Central team, we've found that using video is a great way to reach people. We've shown step-by-step instructions on how to use features of Webmaster Tools, shared our presentations with folks who were unable to make it to conferences, and even taken you through a day in the life of our very own Maile Ohye as she meets with many Googlers involved in webmaster support.

We plan on releasing more videos like these in the future, so we've opened up our own channel on YouTube to host webmaster-related videos. Our first video is already up, and we'll have more to share with you soon. If you want to be the first to know when we release something new, you can subscribe to us using your YouTube account, or grab this RSS feed if you'd like to keep track in your feed reader. Please let us know how you like the channel, and use the comments in this post to share your ideas for future videos.

And while we'll all do our best to make sure Matt Cutts understands that Rick Rolling is so last year, be careful where you click on April 1st.

The comments you read here belong only to the person who posted them. We do, however, reserve the right to remove off-topic comments.

Please rename the RSS-feed to sth. clever and short like "Google Webmaster Central YT Channel" or so. My mobilephone RSS-reader shows up your feed only with "videos uploaded", which simply is not good.

Thanks,
Oliver

Just an idea for google earth. not sure if u guys already thought about it or even have it in place. Wouldn't it be wonderful to embend a flight simulator to google earth? i mean think of the bost it will generate as an option. flight lovers can pilot a plane/jet/helicopter/hand glide/etc... to any location instead of just navigating using a cursor. think about it... cheers! www.indimind.net
