Google 网站站长背后的历史
根据韦氏词典的词条信息,“webmaster”(网站站长)一词在英语中首次有记载的使用出现于 1993 年,而 Google 在时隔数年之后才问世。不过,这个词已经渐渐过时了;根据对众多书籍的词频分析,它的使用频率正在急剧下降。我们开展的一项用户体验研究表明,现在已少有网络专业人员仍将自己看作是网站站长。他们更有可能称自己为“搜索引擎优化顾问 (SEO)”“在线营销人员”“博主”“Web 开发者”或“网站所有者”,但几乎没有人自称“网站站长”。
我们即将更名
在头脑风暴的过程中,我们发现没有一个新名称能够完美地总结大家在网站上进行的活动。为了突出所讨论的主题(Google 搜索),我们决定将我们的名称由“Google 网站站长中心”更改为“Google 搜索中心”,并在网站和社交媒体上同步更名。我们的目标仍然保持不变:Google 致力于帮助用户提高其网站在 Google 搜索结果中的曝光率。在未来几天内,大多数平台上都会显示我们的新名称。
为了帮助用户了解如何提高其网站在 Google 搜索结果中的曝光率,我们还会将帮助文档和博客整合到一个网站上。
今后,Search Console 帮助中心将仅包含与 Search Console 使用相关的文档。这里也仍然是我们的帮助论坛的大本营,帮助论坛最近已由“网站站长帮助社区”更名为“Google 搜索中心社区”。与 Google 搜索的工作方式、抓取和索引编制、Google 搜索准则以及其他 Google 搜索主题相关的信息将迁移到我们的新网站(之前仅专注于 Web 开发者文档)。我们会在未来几天将内容迁移到新网站。
我们会继续为希望在 Google 搜索结果中显示自己网站的所有用户制作内容,无论您是刚刚开始接触搜索引擎优化的新手,还是经验丰富的网络专业人员。
整合博客
您正在浏览的这个博客也会迁移到我们的主网站。不过,迁移将在一周后进行,以便订阅者能够在旧平台上看到最后这篇博文。将这个博客及其对应的 13 个本地化版本迁移到一处能够带来以下好处:
- 更方便用户在同一个网站上发掘相关内容(帮助文档、本地化博客、活动信息)
- 更轻松地切换语言(无需再费力查找其他语种的博客网址)
- 更完善的平台,让我们可以更轻松地维护内容、本地化博文并统一博文格式
今后,所有已归档的博文和新博文都会显示在 developers.google.com/search/blog 这一网站上。您无需执行任何操作即可继续获取我们的最新动态;我们会将当前的 RSS 及电子邮件订阅者重定向到新的博客网址。
Googlebot 吉祥物将更新
同时,我们的 Googlebot 吉祥物也将升级。Googlebot 单枪匹马浪迹网络的时代将落幕,因为会有一位新搭档加入队伍,和 Googlebot 一起抓取互联网页面。
在第一次见到这个好奇宝宝时,我们不禁纳闷:“它真的是蜘蛛吗?”经过一番观察,我们发现如果给它开了绿灯,这个既像蜘蛛又像漫游器的家伙不仅跳得远,而且目力也极佳。我们认为 Googlebot 的全新挚友是一只菲蛛属的蜘蛛,但它似乎还具备类似漫游器的特征。Googlebot 一直在尝试为小蜘蛛漫游器起个新昵称,但他们还没有定下来。也许您能想个好名字?

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"]]
