Google 網站管理員的歷史沿革
根據《韋氏字典》,英文中首度出現「webmaster」(網站管理員) 這個字的已知紀錄是 1993 年,當時 Google 尚未誕生。但是,這個字詞已經過時了;根據書籍資料顯示,其使用量正在急遽下降。我們在進行使用者體驗研究後發現,只有極少數網路專業人士還認為自己是網站管理員。他們比較常自稱為搜尋引擎最佳化 (SEO) 專員、線上行銷人員、部落客、網頁程式開發人員或網站擁有者,卻很少自稱「網站管理員」。
我們即將改名
在為新名稱集思廣益時,我們發現,沒有一個詞語可以完美反映每個人在網站上所進行的工作。為了更聚焦於我們探討的主題 (Google 搜尋),我們即將在自家網站和社群媒體上,將「Google 網站管理員中心」改名為「Google 搜尋中心」。我們的目標仍始終如一;Google 致力於協助使用者提升網站在 Google 搜尋上的曝光率。在未來幾天內,大部分平台都會實施這項變更。
為協助使用者瞭解如何提升網站在 Google 搜尋上的曝光率,我們也會將說明文件和網誌整合至單一網站。
未來,Search Console 說明中心僅會收錄與使用 Search Console 有關的說明文件。Search Console 說明中心也仍舊是說明論壇的大本營,不過會從原本的「網站管理員產品討論社群」重新命名為「Google 搜尋中心社群」。有關 Google 搜尋運作方式、檢索及索引作業、搜尋指南和其他搜尋相關主題的資訊,都將會移至我們的新網站,這個網站之前的唯一用途是提供網頁程式開發人員文件。我們會在未來幾天將內容移至新網站。
無論您是剛接觸搜尋引擎最佳化 (SEO) 的新手,還是經驗豐富的網路專業人士,我們都會繼續提供豐富內容,協助您的網站能在 Google 搜尋中曝光。
整合網誌
您現在正在閱讀的網誌也會移到主網站。不過,我們會保留一週的過渡期,讓訂閱者可以在舊平台上閱讀這最後一篇文章。將這個網誌及另外 13 個本地化網誌全數移至一處,有以下好處:
- 進一步探索相關內容 (說明文件、本地化網誌、活動資訊全部集中至單一網站)
- 更輕鬆地切換語言 (再也不必費心尋找本地化網誌的網址)
- 更便利的平台,讓我們維護內容以及本地化網誌文章的程序更加輕鬆,還能確保文章格式一致
日後,所有已封存和新發布的網誌文章都將收錄在 developers.google.com/search/blog。我們會將目前的 RSS 和電子郵件訂閱者重新導向新的網誌網址,您不必採取任何行動,即可持續接收最新消息。
Googlebot 吉祥物改頭換面
我們的 Googlebot 吉祥物也即將全面升級。Googlebot 獨自漫遊網路的時代終於劃下句點,因為馬上就會有全新的得力助手加入,和 Googlebot 一同檢索網際網路。
第一次見到這個奇怪的小生物時,我們心想:「它是真的蜘蛛嗎?」經過一番觀察,我們發現這個又像蜘蛛又像機器人的生物可以跳得非常遠,而且在周圍有綠光的情況下能看得最清楚。我們認為 Googlebot 這位新好友應該是 Phidippus 屬的蜘蛛,不過好像也具有類似機器人的特徵。Googlebot 幫這個可愛的蜘蛛機器人取了許多新暱稱,但是還沒有找到適合的,您可以幫忙嗎?
珍重再見,請記得更新書籤,如有任何問題或想法,歡迎前往 Twitter 和 Google 搜尋中心產品討論社群與我們交流。

However, the term is becoming archaic, and according to the [data found in books](https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?corpus=26&content=webmaster&smoothing=3&year_start=1800&year_end=2019&direct_url=t1%3B%2Cwebmaster%3B%2Cc0#t1%3B%2Cwebmaster%3B%2Cc1), its use is in sharp decline. A user experience study we ran revealed that very few web professionals identify themselves as webmasters anymore. They're more likely to call themselves Search Engine Optimizer (SEO), online marketer, blogger, web developer, or site owner, but very few \"webmasters\".\n\nWe're changing our name\n-----------------------\n\n\nIn brainstorming our new name, we realized that there's not one term that perfectly summarizes the work people do on websites. To focus more on the topic that we talk about (Google Search), we're changing our name from \"Google Webmasters Central\" to \"Google Search Central\", both on our websites and on social media. Our goal is still the same; we aim to help people improve the visibility of their website on Google Search.The change will happen on most platforms in the next couple days.\n\nCentralizing help information to one site\n-----------------------------------------\n\n\nTo help people learn how to improve their website's visibility on Google Search, we're also consolidating our help documentation and blogs to one site.\n\n\nMoving forward, the [Search Console Help Center](https://support.google.com/webmasters) will contain only documentation related to using Search Console. It's also still the home of our help forum, newly renamed from \"Webmasters Help Community\" to \"[Google Search Central Community](https://support.google.com/webmasters/community)\". The information related to how Google Search works, crawling and indexing, Search guidelines, and other Search-related topics are moving to [our new site](/search), which previously focused only on web developer documentation. The content move will happen over the next few days.\n\n\nWe will continue to create content for anyone who wants their websites to show up on Google Search, whether you're just getting started with SEO or you're an experienced web professional.\n\nConsolidating the blogs\n-----------------------\n\n\nThe blog that you're reading right now is also moving to our main site. However, we will wait one week to allow subscribers to read this last post on the old platform. Moving this blog, including our other 13 localized blogs, to one place brings the following benefits:\n\n- More discovery of related content (help documentation, localized blogs, event information, on one site)\n- Easier to switch between languages (no longer have to find the localized blog URL)\n- Better platform allows us to maintain content, localize blog post more easily, and format posts consistently\n\n\nGoing forward, all archived and new blog posts will appear on [developers.google.com/search/blog](/search/blog). You don't need to take any action in order to keep getting updates from us; we will redirect the current set of RSS and email subscribers to the new blog URL.\n\nGooglebot mascot gets a refresh\n-------------------------------\n\n\nOur Googlebot mascot is also getting an upgrade. Googlebot's days of wandering the web solo come to a close as a new sidekick joins Googlebot in crawling the internet.\n\nWhen we first met this curious critter, we wondered, \"Is it really a spider?\" After some observation, we noticed this spider bot hybrid can jump great distances and sees best when surrounded by green light. We think Googlebot's new best friend is a spider from the genus [Phidippus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phidippus), though it seems to also have bot-like characteristics. Googlebot's been trying out new nicknames for the little spider bot, but they haven't settled on anything yet. Maybe you can help?\n\n\nAs parting words, update your bookmarks and if you have any questions or comments, you can find us on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/googlesearchc) and in our [Google Search Central Help Community](https://support.google.com/webmasters/community).\nPosted by [Lizzi Sassman](https://www.okaylizzi.com/+), Technical Writer on the Google Search Central team"]]
