Below is a small grouping of videos (out of 492 videos Google team members have created) that have been released over the years.

In May, Google announced a new section which details some web-mastering tips they want you to know about. Google’s got plenty of things they don’t want you to know, but these topics and processes are the things they do want webmasters to know and understand so that crawling and indexing your site (plus the web) could be done better which in-turn will yield better results for both you and Google.

There are 22 videos here. Some a little older, but still accurate while most are new. If you have no idea what your doing with your website, these videos are definitely for you. I still recommend watching them anyway though even if you’re experienced because sometimes you can forget the simplest things that matter most, and these videos serve as a fantastic refresher course.

Google has lots of areas where you can find information on search like:

  • Google Webmaster Central
  • Webmaster Help Center
  • Google Webmaster Tools
  • Webmaster Central on YouTube
  • Webmaster Central China Blog
  • Webmaster Central Japanese Blog
  • Webmaster Central German Blog
  • Webmaster Central Spanish Blog
  • Search Engine Optimization Starter Guide
