A recent post from the Google Webmaster central blog by Brandon Falls of the Search Quality Team said that ever since the search giant released their original Search Engine Optimization Starter Guide targeted at new webmasters late last November 2008, that they have continued create additional localized versions in order to cater for international users. His post went on to say that they were now pleased to announce that the SEO Starter Guide is now available in 40 languages, which apparently covers 98% of the global Internet audience.

According to the Google Webmaster Central blog they hoped that webmasters around the world would use the SEO guide to improve the crawlability and indexing of their sites in search engines and in so doing, help them provide even better and increasingly relevant search results.

Brandon also said that the Google team would like to thank everyone for their continued feedback on the guide and said that they would be taking notes on what users liked and what users thought was missing in order to produce future updates and possibly even a more advanced version for seasoned webmasters.
