Google in 2006

Things to applaud and things to improve - Wishlist

[Whitey]

It's been another big year for webmasters interacting with Google. I wondered what members would consider as their greatest achievements and what would be the suggested priorities for improvement in 2007 from our friends at G.

On my side i think that Webmaster Tools is the biggest step with it's several features like crawl rate settings.

On the communication angle, i think that big efforts appear to be intended from Matt, Vanessa and Adam. The video sequence, blogs and posts are an encouraging sign.

For 2007 I'd like to see better ways of managing filters that have hurt our sites so that we might respond better to aligning our content better to G's guidelines. 2nd guessing is often frustrating and looses a lot of time for webmasters
