Google Releases Instant Preview Checker in Webmaster Tools

Google launched the Instant Previews in their SERPs back in November. The feature allows searchers to see a snapshot of the search listing to determine its relevancy before entering the site.

However website owners have been complaining about how the pages are being rendered via the instant previews.

Google responded to the criticism highlighting that these problems were due to blocked resources due to a robots.txt entry, cloaking, and poor alternative content when Flash is unavailable.

To help webmasters deal with these problems, Google has launched a new "Instant Preview tool" in the Labs section of Webmaster Tools to help webmasters diagnose the problems. Using these tools webmasters can see what their sites will look like on Instant preview and correct the errors. The tool is presently available in English only and can be found under the "Labs" tab in Webmaster Tools.


Google explained on their official blog post:

"Here, you can input the URL of any page on your site. We'll then fetch the page from your site and try to render it both as it would display in Chrome and through our Instant Preview renderer. Please keep in mind that both of these renders are done using a recent build of Webkit which doesn't include plugins such as Flash or Silverlight, so it's important to consider the value of providing alternative content for these situations. Alternative content can be helpful to search engines, and visitors to your site without the plugin would benefit as well. Below the renders, you'll also see automated feedback on problems our system can detect such as missing or roboted resources".

Webmasters can see how their pages will look in Instant preview at http://www.google.com/landing/instantpreviews/#a

Google on Privacy and Personal Information

The All Things Digital D9 conference is a place where the best and the brightest of the tech industry wrestle (metaphorically) with the sharpest interviewers that tech journalism has to offer.

Among the more interesting interviews this year was the discussion with Eric Schmidt that launched 2011s D9. Shcmidt, Google's Executive Chair, covered a great number of topics, but one area of special interest is Google's stance on privacy, data control, and sharing personal information.

Schmidt stated that Google is committed to allowing anonymous searches for anyone who isn't logged into their Google account. Further, Google's privacy dashboard gives users access to a summary of stored data and an option to delete it. "We tell people what we know," said Schmidt. "And we give them the choice of getting it deleted." When it comes to privacy in the Android market, however, the concerns change. Since third party groups are accessing personal data, Google can do little beyond informing users of what data is being shared. Google has no intent to do more, however, since they prefer avoiding curation and increasing a "free market" model of app competition.

Despite Schmidt's upbeat and reassuring comments about privacy, certain concerns do remain. It's known that Google tracks at least some basic information for anonymous users, including the IP address " which tags the identity of your computer and your region of origin. This information can (although it isn't often) forfeited to government authorities based on a court order.

There's been enough controversy about Google's privacy policy that entire search engines have established themselves on the ground of being more private than Google. Case in point: Duck Duck Go, whose slogan of "Google tracks you. We don't," has worked as the core of the upstart search site's advertising efforts.
