Hi Folks!

As you might already know Google Webmaster Guidelines are suggestions to help webmasters understand the main principles when dealing with Google index. At the top of the guidelines, we read:

.. these guidelines will help Google find, index, and rank your site. Even if you choose not to implement any of these suggestions, we strongly encourage you to pay very close attention to the "Quality Guidelines," which outline some of the illicit practices that may lead to a site being removed entirely from the Google index or otherwise penalized. If a site has been penalized, it may no longer show up in results on Google.com or on any of Google's partner sites.

Because Google and especially Google Search Quality Team / WebSpam Team penalize sites which are not in accordance with the guidelines, its of importance to make those guidelines easy to understand and keep them updated as new factors which affect ranking/indexing emerge.

Personally I wish to see the following two points to be included asap within the guidelines

-More details and tips about how to file a reinclusion request. At present there is very valuable relevant info on Matt Cutts blog and I wish to see them added to the guidelines.

-A paragraph covering Google position regarding paid links.

Anything else you wish to see updated or added to the guidelines?
