     21** A few words about Attribute Search **

    23 Google users search Google Base data in a way that is fundamentally different from how they search the web: they use attributes. Attributes allow searchers to precisely refine their search in a way that web search does not. For example, searchers can specify the exact color, price range, size, brand, or any other attribute of what they are searching for. Attributes are a very powerful tool for search refinement: they allow searchers to quickly narrow in on exactly the set of items they're interested in.

    25 Because they're such a powerful tool, users search Google Base data almost exclusively with attributes; keywords are much less important. That means that in order to be found, your items must have the attributes a user will want to use to refine his search. (For instance, users searching for digital cameras may want to view cameras with a certain range of megapixels, so providers wanting users to find their digital camera listings should include the megapixel attribute.) Without these attributes, users won't find your item, because Google Base won't know whether your item has the attribute or not.

    27 Since users search Google Base data with attributes, a Google Base item with no attributes will be as hard for users to find as a page on the web with no title or description.

    4040 
    41 **1. What is personal information?** 
     41** 1. What is personal information? ** 
    4242 
    4343"Personal information" is information that you provide to us which personally identifies you, such as your name, email address or billing information, or other data which can be reasonably linked to such information by Google.  
    4444 
    45 **2. What is a Google Account?** 
     45** 2. What is a Google Account? ** 
    4646 
    47 You may access some of our services by signing up for a [Google Account](https://www.google.com/accounts/) and providing us with some personal information (typically your name, email address and a password). This account information will be used to authenticate you when you access Google services and protect your account from unauthorized access by others. We may share personal information among our various services in order to customize content and enhance our services for you. No account information is shared with anyone other than Google except as specified in the Privacy Policy or with your consent.

This account information will be used to authenticate you when you access Google services and protect your account from unauthorized access by others. We may share personal information among our various services in order to customize content and enhance our services for you. No account information is shared with anyone other than Google except as specified in the Privacy Policy or with your consent.  
    4848 
    4949You can edit or terminate your account at any time through your Google Account settings.  
    5050 
    51 **3. What is a cookie?** 
     51** 3. What is a cookie? ** 
    5252 
    5353A "cookie" is a small file containing a string of characters that is sent to your computer when you visit a website. When you visit the website again, the cookie allows that site to recognize your browser. Cookies may store user preferences and other information. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, some website features or services may not function properly without cookies.  
    5454 
    55 **4. What are server logs?** 
     55** 4. What are server logs? ** 
    5656 
    5757Like most Web sites, our servers automatically record the page requests made when users visit our sites. These "server logs" typically include your web request, Internet Protocol address, browser type, browser language, the date and time of your request and one or more cookies that may uniquely identify your browser.  
    …… 
    6767  * 740674ce2123a969 is the unique cookie ID assigned to this particular computer the first time it visited Google. (Cookies can be deleted by users. If the user has deleted the cookie from the computer since the last time s/he visited Google, then it will be the unique cookie ID assigned to the user the next time s/he visits Google from that particular computer).  
    6868 
    69 **5. What information does Google receive if I click on a link displayed on Google?** 
     69** 5. What information does Google receive if I click on a link displayed on Google? ** 
    7070 
    7171When you click on a link displayed on Google, the fact that you clicked on the link may be sent to Google. In this way, Google is able to record information about how you use our site and services.  
    …… 
    7373We use this information to improve the quality of our services and for other business purposes. For example, Google can use this information to determine how often users are satisfied with the first result of a query and how often they proceed to later results. Similarly, Google can use this information to determine how many times an advertisement is clicked in order to calculate how much the advertiser should be charged.  
    7474 
    75 **6. What is sensitive information?** 
     75** 6. What is sensitive information? ** 
    7676 
    7777"Sensitive personal information" includes information we know to be related to confidential medical information, racial or ethnic origins, political or religious beliefs or sexuality and tied to personal information.  
    7878 
    79 **7. What is aggregated non-personal information?** 
     79** 7. What is aggregated non-personal information? ** 
    8080 
    8181"Aggregate non-personal information" is information that is recorded about users and collected into groups so that it no longer reflects or references an individually identifiable user.  
    8282 
    83 **8. URLs and embedded information** 
     83** 8. URLs and embedded information ** 
    8484 
    8585Some of our services, including Google Toolbar and Google Web Accelerator, send the uniform resource locators ("URLs") of web pages that you request to Google. When you use these services, Google will receive and store the URL sent by the web sites you visit, including any personal information inserted into those URLs by the web site operator. Some Google services (such as Google Toolbar) enable you to opt-in or opt-out of sending URLs to Google, while for others (such as Google Web Accelerator) the sending of URLs to Google is intrinsic to the service. When you sign up for any such service, you will be informed clearly that the service sends URLs to Google, and whether and how you can opt-in or opt-out.  
    …… 
    8787For example, when you submit information to a web page (such as a user login ID or registration information), the operator of that web site may "embed" that information - including personal information - into its URL (typically, after a question mark ("?") in the URL). When the URL is transmitted to Google, our servers automatically store the URL, including any personal information that has been embedded after the question mark. Google does not exercise any control over these web sites or whether they embed personal information into URLs.  
    8888 
    89 **9. What protections do I have against intrusions by the government into my use of Google services?** 
     89** 9. What protections do I have against intrusions by the government into my use of Google services? ** 
    9090 
    9191Google does comply with valid legal process, such as search warrants, court orders, or subpoenas seeking personal information. These same processes apply to all law-abiding companies. As has always been the case, the primary protections you have against intrusions by the government are the laws that apply to where you live.

PARTICIPATION IN THE GOOGLE BOOKS PARTNER PROGRAM INDICATES THAT YOU ACCEPT THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS. IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, PLEASE DO NOT REGISTER FOR THE GOOGLE BOOKS PARTNER PROGRAM. ** 
    10  
    11 **Introduction.**By accepting the Standard Terms and Conditions of this Content Hosting Services Agreement (the "Agreement"), You are requesting to participate in the Google Books Partner Program ("the Program") where Google Inc. and its affiliates ("Google") provides scanning, storage and hosting services at the direction of content providers that seek to make their content available to end users via the Internet, subject to the terms of this Agreement, certain Program Policies ("Program Policies") located at [https://books.google.com/partner/policies](https://books.google.com/partner/policies) (as such URL may be updated from time to time by Google) and the Program Frequently Asked Questions ("FAQ") located at [http://books.google.com/support/partner](http://books.google.com/support/partner) (as such URL may be updated from time to time by Google). "You" means the entity identified in an enrollment form submitted by the same or affiliated persons, which shall also be bound by the terms of this Agreement.  
    12  
    13   1. **Program Participation.** Participation in the Program is subject to Google's prior approval and Your continued compliance with Program Policies. Google reserves the right to refuse participation to any applicant or participant at any time in its sole discretion. Google further reserves the right to modify the Program Policies and the FAQ from time to time. Multiple accounts held by the same individual or entity are subject to immediate termination unless expressly authorized in writing by Google (including by electronic mail).  
    14  
    15   2. **Implementation. **If You are accepted into the Program, You agree to identify in the format specified by Google the works that you wish to include in the Program ("**Authorized Works**") and deliver to Google such Authorized Works in print and/or digital format, at your expense, within the time frame specified in the FAQ. Google is not responsible for any loss, theft or damage of any kind to the Authorized Works. All content contained within the Authorized Works, including but not limited to all text, images, photographs, illustrations and all material and artwork on the book jackets and covers, is referred to collectively as the "**Authorized Content.**" Google (or its agents) may digitally scan the Authorized Content, including the content contained on book jackets and covers, and store the Authorized Content on servers hosted by Google. You agree that Google may scan the Authorized Content in any location it chooses. Google may index the Authorized Content, and, in response to requests by end users of Google's search services, display search results relating to the Authorized Content. Google will not return to You the print copies of Authorized Works that You send to Google.  
    16  
    17   3. **Content Excerpt Pages.** You further request and authorize Google to (i) render the Authorized Content into digital format, if necessary; (ii) store and index the Authorized Content; and (iii) use and display the Authorized Content as provided herein. Google may host, store, operate, maintain and make accessible to end users certain "**Content Excerpt Pages**" that display a digital image of the Authorized Content, or equivalent, and other links and/or material that Google may determine. Although You grant Google the permission to scan, index and host the Authorized Content and display Content Excerpt Pages, Google makes no promise or representation that it will or that it will continue to do so with each Authorized Work that you send to Google.  
    18  
    19   4. **Restrictions on Use of Authorized Content.** Google will use commercially reasonable efforts to (a) limit the total number of pages of each Authorized Work viewed by any end user in connection with Google's search services to 20% of the Authorized Content of any Authorized Work per 30 day period and (b) disable "right-click" cut, copy and paste functions, and printing of Authorized Content; provided, however, that Google does not guarantee that its efforts to prevent or limit the actions stated above will in every instance be effective. The obligation in clauses (a) and (b) above will not apply to Authorized Content in the public domain. Furthermore, You can elect that greater than 20% of the Authorized Content of your Authorized Works can be viewed.  
    20  
    21   5. **Brand Features; Publicity.** You agree that Google may use Your name and logo ("Brand Features") in connection with the Authorized Content and in presentations, marketing materials, customer lists, financial reports and Web site listings of customers. You agree not to make any public announcement regarding this Agreement or the terms hereof without the prior written consent of Google.  
    22  
    23   6. **Proprietary Rights; Required Notices.** Nothing contained in this Agreement conveys any ownership right to Google in any of the Authorized Content, or other materials provided by You.  
    24  
    25   7. **Confidentiality.** You agree not to disclose Google Confidential Information without Google's prior written consent. "**Google Confidential Information**" includes without limitation: (a) all Google software, technology, programming, technical specifications, materials, guidelines and documentation (including the terms of this Agreement) relating to the Program; (b) click-through rates and all other reporting information relating to the Ads (including revenues paid to You by Google) and the Authorized Content to the extent provided to You by Google; and (c) any other information designated in writing by Google as "Confidential" or an equivalent designation. It does not include information that has become publicly known through no breach by You or Google, or information that has been (i) independently developed without access to Google Confidential Information, as evidenced in writing; (ii) rightfully received by You from a third party; or (iii) required to be disclosed by law or by a governmental authority.  
    26  
    27   8. **Ads; Payment.**You agree that Google may serve third party and/or Google provided advertisements (collectively, "**Ads**") in connection with the Authorized Content using Google's advertising serving technology. Such Ads will appear in the style and format that may be offered generally by Google, when such advertising inventory is available. You shall receive a payment related to the number of valid clicks on Ads displayed on Content Excerpt Pages as determined by Google for its participants in the Program. Unless otherwise agreed to by the parties in writing (including electronic mail), payments to You shall be sent by Google within approximately thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar month that Ads are running on Content Excerpt Pages if Your earned balance is $100 or more. In the event the Agreement is terminated, Google shall pay Your earned balance to You within approximately ninety (90) days after the end of the calendar month in which Google recognizes that the Agreement has been terminated, but in no event shall Google make payments for any earned balance less than $10. Google reserves the right to retain all revenues derived from its search services, including without limitation, Ads that appear on search result pages that contain snippets of Authorized Content. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Google shall not be liable for any payment based on (a) any amounts which result from invalid queries, or invalid clicks on Ads generated by any person, bot, automated program or similar device, including, without limitation, through any clicks or impressions (i) originating from Your IP addresses or computers under Your control, or (ii) solicited by payment of money, false representation or request for users to click on Ads; (b) Ads delivered to end users whose browsers have JavaScript disabled; (c) Ads benefiting charitable organizations and other placeholder or transparent Ads that Google may deliver; (d) Google advertisements for its own products and/or services; or (e) clicks co-mingled with a significant number of invalid clicks described in (a) above, or as a result of any breach of this Agreement by You for any applicable pay period. Google reserves the right to withhold payment or charge back Your account due to any of the foregoing, any breach of this Agreement by You, pending Google's reasonable investigation of any of the foregoing or any breach of this Agreement by You, or in the event that an advertiser whose Ads are displayed on Content Excerpt Pages defaults on payment for such Ads to Google. In addition, if You are past due on any payment to Google in connection with any Google program (including without limitation the Google AdWords program), Google reserves the right to withhold payment until all outstanding payments have been made or to offset amounts owed to You in connection with the Program by amounts owed by You to Google. Google will provide access to such standard aggregated advertising data that Google provides to participants of the Program generally.   
    28    
    29 To ensure proper payment, You are solely responsible for providing and maintaining accurate contact and payment information associated with Your account. For U.S. taxpayers, this information includes without limitation a valid U.S. tax identification number and a fully-completed Form W-9. For non-U.S. taxpayers, this information includes without limitation a fully-completed Form W-8 which may require a valid U.S. tax identification number, as required by the U.S. tax authorities. More information regarding required tax information and forms will be available from Your account. Any bank fees related to returned or cancelled checks due to a contact or payment information error or omission may be deducted from the newly issued payment. You agree to pay all applicable taxes or charges imposed by any government entity in connection with Your participation in the Program. Google may change its pricing and/or payment structure at any time. If You dispute any payment made under the Program, You must notify Google in writing within thirty (30) days of any such payment; failure to so notify Google shall result in the waiver by You of any claim relating to any such disputed payment. Payment shall be calculated solely based on records maintained by Google. No other measurements or statistics of any kind shall be accepted by Google or have any effect under this Agreement.  
    30  
    31   9. **No Guarantee.** Google makes no guarantee regarding the level of impressions of or clicks on any Ad, the timing of delivery of such impressions and/or clicks, or the amount of any payment to be made to You under this Agreement.  
    32  
    33   10. **No Warranty.** GOOGLE MAKES NO WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WITH RESPECT TO ADVERTISING AND OTHER SERVICES, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS THE WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF NONINFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  
    34  
    35   11. **Limitations of Liability; Force Majeure.** EXCEPT FOR ANY INDEMNIFICATION AND CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, (i) IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES AND NOTWITHSTANDING ANY FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY AND (ii) GOOGLE'S AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU UNDER THIS AGREEMENT FOR ANY CLAIM IS LIMITED TO THE NET AMOUNT PAID BY GOOGLE TO YOU DURING THE THREE MONTH PERIOD IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE DATE OF THE CLAIM. Each party acknowledges that the other party has entered into this Agreement relying on the limitations of liability stated herein and that those limitations are an essential basis of the bargain between the parties. Without limiting the foregoing and except for payment obligations, neither party shall have any liability for any failure or delay resulting from any condition beyond the reasonable control of such party, including but not limited to governmental action or acts of terrorism, earthquake or other acts of God, labor conditions, and power failures.

    37   12. **Representations and Warranties.** You represent and warrant that (a) You are at least 18 years of age, (b) all of the information provided by You to Google to enroll in the Program and to include the Authorized Works in the Program is correct and current; (c) You hold the necessary rights, including all intellectual property rights, in and to the Authorized Content and Your Brand Features to enter into this Agreement and grant the rights granted herein, and (d) You have the power and authority to enter into this Agreement, to perform the acts required of You hereunder, and to grant the rights granted herein. You further represent and warrant that the Authorized Content: (i) conforms to the Program Policies, (ii) does not violate any applicable law, statute, ordinance or regulation and (iii) does not breach and has not breached any duty toward or rights of any person or entity including, without limitation, rights of intellectual property, publicity or privacy, or rights or duties under consumer protection, product liability, tort, or contract theories.  
    38  
    39   13. **Your Obligation to Indemnify. **You agree to indemnify, defend and hold Google, its agents, affiliates, subsidiaries, directors, officers, employees, and applicable third parties (e.g. relevant advertisers, syndication partners, licensors, licensees, consultants and contractors) (collectively "Indemnified Person(s)") harmless from and against any and all third party claims, liability, loss, and expense (including damage awards, settlement amounts, and reasonable legal fees), brought against any Indemnified Person(s), arising out of, related to or which may arise from Your use of the Program, the Authorized Content, Your Brand Features, and/or Your breach of any term of this Agreement.  
    40  
    41   14. **Termination. **You may terminate this Agreement with or without cause with thirty (30) days prior notice to Google. Google may at any time, in its sole discretion, terminate the Program, terminate this Agreement, or withdraw any Authorized Content in the Program. For any termination of this Agreement by either party, Google shall use commercially reasonable efforts, within thirty (30)days (or as soon thereafter as is commercially reasonable), to cease to serve Content Excerpt Pages (or portions thereof) to end users of Google's search services. For the avoidance of doubt, Google will continue to host and index the Authorized Content after termination of this Agreement, for the purpose of providing search results. The provisions of Sections 2, 6, 7, 9-11, 13, 14, 15 and 17 will survive any termination of this Agreement.  
    42  
    43   15. **Information Rights.** Google may retain and use for its own purposes all information You provide, including but not limited to contact and billing information. You agree that Google may transfer and disclose to third parties personally identifiable information about You for the purpose of approving and enabling Your participation in the Program, including to third parties that reside in jurisdictions with less restrictive data laws than Your own. Google may also provide information in response to valid legal process, such as subpoenas, search warrants and court orders, or to establish or exercise its legal rights or defend against legal claims. Google disclaims all responsibility, and will not be liable to You, however, for any disclosure of that information by any such third party. Google may share aggregate (i.e., not personally identifiable) information about You with advertisers, business partners, sponsors, and other third parties.  
    44  
    45   16. **Parties' Responsibilities. **You are solely responsible for the Authorized Content, Your Brand Features, and adherence to the terms of this Agreement, including compliance with the Program Policies. You shall not, and shall not authorize or encourage any third party to directly or indirectly generate queries, impressions of or clicks on any Ad(s) through any automated, deceptive, fraudulent or other invalid means, including but not limited to through repeated manual clicks, the use of robots or other automated query tools and/or computer generated search requests, and/or the fraudulent use of other search engine optimization services and/or software. Google reserves the right to investigate, at its own discretion, any activity that may violate this Agreement, including but not limited to any use of a software application to access Ads or any engagement in any activity prohibited by this Agreement. Google is not responsible for anything related to the Authorized Content or Your Brand Features. In addition, Google shall not be obligated to provide notice to You in the event that Ads are not being displayed properly to end users of the Content Excerpt Pages.  
    46  
    47   17. **Miscellaneous. **This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of California, except for its conflicts of laws principles. Any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be adjudicated in Santa Clara County, California. The parties specifically exclude from application to the Agreement the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. Any modifications to this Agreement must be made in a writing executed by both parties, by Your online acceptance of updated terms, or after Your continued participation in the Program after such terms have been updated by Google. The failure to require performance of any provision shall not affect a party's right to require performance at any time thereafter, nor shall a waiver of any breach or default of this Agreement constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach or default or a waiver of the provision itself. If any provision herein is held unenforceable, then such provision will be modified to reflect the parties' intention, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. This Agreement does not affect any right that either party would have had, or shall have, independent of the Agreement including rights to Authorized Content under the Copyright Act. You may not resell, assign, or transfer any of Your rights hereunder. Any such attempt may result in termination of this Agreement, without liability to Google. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Google may assign this Agreement to any affiliate at any time without notice. The relationship between Google and You is not one of a legal partnership relationship, but is one of independent contractors.

     95** Requests for Removal of Links or Cached Materials ** 
    9696 
    9797Google occasionally receives requests from people to remove links from its indices. Although Google reserves the right to address such requests individually, the general approach that Google takes reflects the following principles:  
    …… 
    9999Google's indices consist of information that has been identified, indexed and compiled through an automated process with no advance review by human beings. Given the enormous volume of web site information added, deleted, and changed on a frequent basis, Google cannot and does not screen anything made available through its indices. For each web site reflected in Google's indices, if either (i) a site owner restricts access to his or her web site or (ii) a site is taken down from the web, then, upon receipt of a request by the site owner or a third party in the second instance, Google would consider on a case-by-case basis requests to remove the link to that site from its indices. However, if the operator of the site does not take steps to prevent it, the automatic facilities used to create the indices are likely to find that site and index it again in a relatively short amount of time.  
    100100 
    101 Google stores many web pages in its cache to retrieve for users as a back-up in case the page's server temporarily fails. Site owners may block Google from returning cached versions of their pages by using the NOARCHIVE meta-tag. Site owners may also request immediate removal of cached page from the Google Search Service. Google evaluates such requests for the immediate removal of cached content on a case-by-case basis and does not guarantee that every request will be granted. The steps necessary to remove cached pages, and to prevent a site from being cached and/or included in the indices are described in the [Google FAQ](/webmasters/faq.html), accessible from the home page of this site.

    4949We recommend migrating a site to a new IP address with the following steps:  
    …… 
    5353  3. Once you see search engine spiders fetch pages from the new IP address (typically within 24-48 hours), it's safe to take down the copy of your site at the old IP address.

     55** 3. Why is my site labeled "Supplemental"? ** 
    5656 
    57 Supplemental sites are part of Google's auxiliary index. We're able to place fewer restraints on sites that we crawl for this supplemental index than we do on sites that are crawled for our main index. For example, the number of parameters in a URL might exclude a site from being crawled for inclusion in our main index; however, it could still be crawled and added to our supplemental index.

    5858 
    5959The index in which a site is included is completely automated; there's no way for you to select or change the index in which your site appears. Please be assured that the index in which a site is included does not affect its PageRank.

    6262 
    63 While all sites in our index return for searches restricted to "the web," we draw on a relevant subset of sites for each country restrict. Our crawlers may identify the country for a site by factors such as the physical location at which the site is hosted, the site's IP address, the WHOIS information for a domain, and its top-level domain.

Our crawlers may identify the country for a site by factors such as the physical location at which the site is hosted, the site's IP address, the WHOIS information for a domain, and its top-level domain.  
    6464 
    6565That said, your site's top-level domain doesn't need to match the country domain for which you'd like it to return. It's also important to keep in mind that our crawlers don't index duplicate content, so creating identical sites at several domains will likely not result in their returning for many country restricts. If you do create duplicate domains, we suggest using a robots.txt file to block our crawler from accessing all but your preferred one.

When the user clicks on the top result, the destination page will load faster than before. This tag is only inserted when it is likely that the user will click on the first link.

    79 Prefetching may impact your site because the prefetch request will happen whether or not the user clicks on the result, so it may result in additional traffic to your web server. Google only inserts this tag when there is a high likelihood that the user will click on the top result, but clearly this heuristic is not right 100% of the time.

    2626Following these guidelines will help Google find, index, and rank your site. Even if you choose not to implement any of these suggestions, we strongly encourage you to pay very close attention to the "Quality Guidelines," which outline some of the illicit practices that may lead to a site being removed entirely from the Google index. Once a site has been removed, it will no longer show up in results on Google.com or on any of Google's partner sites.  
    2727 
    28 **Design and Content Guidelines:** 
     28** Design and Content Guidelines: **

    3030  * Make a site with a clear hierarchy and text links. Every page should be reachable from at least one static text link.  
    …… 
    3838  * Keep the links on a given page to a reasonable number (fewer than 100).  
    3939 
    40 **Technical Guidelines:** 
     40** Technical Guidelines: ** 
    4141 
    4242  * Use a text browser such as Lynx to examine your site, because most search engine spiders see your site much as Lynx would. If fancy features such as JavaScript, cookies, session IDs, frames, DHTML, or Flash keep you from seeing all of your site in a text browser, then search engine spiders may have trouble crawling your site.  
    4343  * Allow search bots to crawl your sites without session IDs or arguments that track their path through the site. These techniques are useful for tracking individual user behavior, but the access pattern of bots is entirely different. Using these techniques may result in incomplete indexing of your site, as bots may not be able to eliminate URLs that look different but actually point to the same page.  
    4444  * Make sure your web server supports the If-Modified-Since HTTP header. This feature allows your web server to tell Google whether your content has changed since we last crawled your site. Supporting this feature saves you bandwidth and overhead.  
    45   * Make use of the robots.txt file on your web server. This file tells crawlers which directories can or cannot be crawled. Make sure it's current for your site so that you don't accidentally block the Googlebot crawler. Visit [http://www.robotstxt.org/wc/faq.html](http://www.robotstxt.org/wc/faq.html) to learn how to instruct robots when they visit your site.

    4646  * If your company buys a content management system, make sure that the system can export your content so that search engine spiders can crawl your site.  
    4747  * Don't use "&id=" as a parameter in your URLs, as we don't include these pages in our index.

    6161  * Make pages for users, not for search engines. Don't deceive your users or present different content to search engines than you display to users, which is commonly referred to as "cloaking."  
    6262  * Avoid tricks intended to improve search engine rankings. A good rule of thumb is whether you'd feel comfortable explaining what you've done to a website that competes with you. Another useful test is to ask, "Does this help my users? Would I do this if search engines didn't exist?"  
    6363  * Don't participate in link schemes designed to increase your site's ranking or PageRank. In particular, avoid links to web spammers or "bad neighborhoods" on the web, as your own ranking may be affected adversely by those links.  
    64   * Don't use unauthorized computer programs to submit pages, check rankings, etc. Such programs consume computing resources and violate our [Terms of Service](/terms_of_service.html). Google does not recommend the use of products such as WebPosition Gold(tm) that send automatic or programmatic queries to Google.

     72  * Don't create pages that install viruses, trojans, or other [ badware ](http://www.stopbadware.org/) .  
    7373  * Don't create multiple pages, subdomains, or domains with substantially duplicate content.  
    7474  * Avoid "doorway" pages created just for search engines, or other "cookie cutter" approaches such as affiliate programs with little or no original content.  
    …… 
    7676These quality guidelines cover the most common forms of deceptive or manipulative behavior, but Google may respond negatively to other misleading practices not listed here (e.g. tricking users by registering misspellings of well-known websites). It's not safe to assume that just because a specific deceptive technique isn't included on this page, Google approves of it. Webmasters who spend their energies upholding the spirit of the basic principles listed above will provide a much better user experience and subsequently enjoy better ranking than those who spend their time looking for loopholes they can exploit.

    78 If you believe that another site is abusing Google's quality guidelines, please report that site at [http://www.google.com/contact/spamreport.html](http://www.google.com/contact/spamreport.html).

    3939Froogle, Google's shopping search engine, applies the power of Google's search technology to one very specific task: locating sellers that offer the item you want to find and pointing you directly to the place where you can buy it.    
    4040   
    41 To use Froogle, click the Froogle top link on Google or go directly to the [Froogle home page](http://froogle.google.com). Type in the name of the item you want to find and click on "Search Froogle" to see offers available for purchase online. If you prefer to pick up the item yourself, you can then click "Local Shopping" to enter your zip code and search for the item near you. Almost instantly, you'll see photos of relevant products and links to the stores that sell them. You'll also see Product Reviews and Seller Ratings to help you make better buying decisions.

    4343As with all other Google search results, Froogle ranks your results based on their relevance to your search terms. Google does not accept payment for placement within our actual search results, and the advertising that appears on Froogle search results pages is always clearly identified as "Sponsored Links."

    49 Froogle collects product information in two ways. First, it uses product information submitted electronically by sellers who choose to take advantage of this free service. If you're interested in having your product information appear on Froogle, you can [submit your items](#addmystore) to Froogle. Second, as Google's spidering software crawls the Internet, Froogle automatically identifies webpages that offer products for sale. These are the pages Froogle searches when you enter the name of an item you want to find.

    5656Sometimes you're just looking for the cheapest online deal, but sometimes need to buy something from a store near you, right now. With Froogle, we provide both options. You can search for "ipods" or "ipods near New York", and you can click on "Local Shopping" or "Online Shopping" to toggle between the local and online views.    
    5757   
    58 The good news for sellers is that, while you still need to have web pages describing each product you have for sale in order to list them on Froogle, you no longer need to have ecommerce enabled on your website; once local people find your products, they can come buy them in person.

    63 Sponsored Links are paid advertisements that Froogle displays when they're relevant to your search terms; they are not related to your search results, which are generated automatically by our search engine and delivered in order of relevance to what you're trying to find. If you're interested in buying advertising in the Sponsored Links portion of the Froogle search results page, please visit the [Google AdWords home page](https://adwords.google.com/select/Login?sourceid=awo&subid=us-et-frooglefaq).

    68 Froogle is unlike other sites both because of what it does and because of what it doesn't do. Froogle does provide a lightning quick way to search the largest collection of sellers and products on the web. That means if the item you're looking to buy is online, Froogle will likely find it. Froogle also uses information from sellers about their in-store offers to help shoppers find information about products available near them.

    6969   
    7070Froogle does not, however, sell products or promote partner sellers within the search results. There's no shopping cart or wallet into which you can place your credit card information, nor are there preferred sellers who always show up as the first result regardless of what search you enter. Our job is to find the product you want and point you to the store that sells it; we provide objective results based on our calculation of what's most relevant to your search. We don't accept payment for inclusion in our results themselves, and all advertising that appears on Froogle is clearly labeled as "Sponsored Links."

    75 That's a trick question. You can't buy products directly from Froogle, because Froogle isn't a store; it's simply a search engine that finds the items you're looking for and points you to sellers that do offer them for sale. Once you visit the seller's website or store, that seller should be more than happy to help you make a purchase.

    80 You can change how your results are displayed by providing more information about what you want to find. For example, you can choose "Local Shopping" to find items available near you. Entering a price range and then sorting by price (from high to low or from low to high) will organize your results in a more useful way. You might also want to try the "grid view" option, which allows you to view 15 product thumbnail images on each results page.

    31   * The contents of the postings, custom pages and files, including any text, images, photos, videos, and audio, that you submit to Google Groups are stored and maintained on Google servers in order to publish these items and provide the service. Your submitted content will be associated with your profile, if you have completed one, or a "masked" version of your email address, if you have not.

    21 Since we first launched Gmail in April 2004, there has been some discussion, including in the media and in legislative corridors, about Gmail and privacy. Google takes privacy very seriously. We are very upfront about our policies and we welcome a discussion of user experience and public policy as it relates to the Internet, email, and our services.

    43 Privacy is compromised, however, if personal information or private email content is shared with parties other than the sender and intended recipients without their consent. This is not the case when people use Gmail. **Google does not share or reveal email content or personal information with third parties.** Email messages remain strictly between the sender and intended recipients, even when only one of the parties is a Gmail user.

    49 All major free webmail services carry advertising, and most of it is irrelevant to the people who see it. Google believes that showing relevant advertising offers more value to users than displaying random pop-ups or untargeted banner ads. In Gmail, users will see text ads and links to related pages that are relevant to the content of their messages. The links to related pages are similar to Google search results, and are culled from Google's extensive index of web pages. They are selected solely for their helpfulness and are not paid advertisements.

    51 In Gmail, ads appear alongside messages, in the same way that ads appear next to search results on Google. As this [screenshot](screen2.html) shows, the ads are clearly identified as 'Sponsored Links.' They are displayed in a way that doesn't interrupt users as they read their messages and ads are never inserted into the body text of either incoming or outgoing Gmail messages.

    57 To ensure a quality user experience for all Gmail users, **we avoid showing ads reflecting sensitive or inappropriate content by only showing ads that have been classified as "Family-Safe."** Gmail's filters also block ads from running next to messages about catastrophic events or tragedies, erring on the side of not displaying an ad if the content is questionable.

    63 All email services scan your email. They do this routinely to provide such popular features as spam filtering, virus detection, search, spellchecking, forwarding, auto-responding, flagging urgent messages, converting incoming email into cell phone text messages, automatic saving and sorting into folders, converting text URLs to clickable links, and reading messages to the blind. These features are widely accepted, trusted, and used by hundreds of millions of people every day.

    65 Google scans the text of Gmail messages in order to filter spam and detect viruses, just as all major webmail services do. Google also uses this scanning technology to deliver targeted text ads and other related information. This is completely automated and involves no humans.

    67 When a user opens an email message, computers scan the text and then instantaneously display relevant information that is matched to the text of the message. Once the message is closed, ads are no longer displayed. It is important to note that the ads generated by this matching process are dynamically generated each time a message is opened by the user--in other words, Google does not attach particular ads to individual messages or to users' accounts.

    69 We recognize that seeing ads based on the content of an email message can be unsettling at first. Our experience has been that this feeling recedes as users become more familiar with Gmail. However, some people, many of whom have not used Gmail, have reacted by condemning all automatic scanning of email content, on the grounds that it amounts to a violation of privacy. We think this criticism is misplaced. **All major email services, including Hotmail and Yahoo! Mail, automatically scan email content for the benefit of users. When email messages are fully protected from unwanted disclosure, the automatic scanning of email does not amount to a violation of privacy. **

    75 Some people have expressed the concern that Gmail may compromise the privacy of those who send email messages to Gmail accounts, since the senders have not necessarily agreed to Gmail's privacy policies or Terms of Use. Though it may seem plausible at first, this worry is based on a misunderstanding of how Gmail actually works, and ignores the fact that for senders and recipients alike, there is no privacy violation to begin with. **Using Gmail does not violate the privacy of senders since no one other than the recipient is allowed to read their email messages, and no one but the recipient sees targeted ads and related information.**

    77 In an email exchange, both senders and recipients should have certain rights. Senders should have the right to decide whom to send messages to, and to choose an email provider that they trust to deliver those messages. Recipients should also have certain rights, including the right to choose the method by which to view their messages. Recipients should have the right to read their email any way they choose, whether through a web interface (like Gmail, Yahoo! Mail, or Hotmail), a handheld device (like a BlackBerry or cellphone), a software program (such as Outlook), or even via a personal secretary.

    79 On the Internet, senders are not required to consent to routine automatic processing of email content, such as for spam filtering or virus detection, or the automatic flagging or filing of messages into folders based on content. Requiring senders' consent would make no sense: otherwise, no spammer would ever agree to automatic processing, and spam filtering would be impossible. Email providers essentially act as personal assistants for subscribers, holding and delivering their email messages and carrying out various tasks (such as deleting spam, removing viruses, enabling search, or displaying related information). And of course, recipients have the right to forward, delete, print or distribute any message they receive.

    81 By choosing to use Gmail, users are seeing ads and related information that they could easily find by doing a web search using some of the keywords in their email. Google is simply presenting this information to them in a relevant and unobtrusive manner, while saving users the extra step of having to type keywords into a search engine.

    8282 
    83 There are also many scenarios in which a recipient will benefit from seeing ads and information related to an email message, without the sender's explicit consent. For example, if you receive an email offer from one local gym, there's value in seeing offers from other gyms nearby. The ability to see comparative advertising from different competitors is an important consumer right, even if the sender may not desire it.

This is simply not true. **Google keeps multiple backup copies of users' emails so that we can recover messages and restore accounts in case of errors or system failure.** Even if a message has been deleted or an account is no longer active, messages may remain on our backup systems for some period of time. This is standard practice in the email industry, which Gmail and other major webmail services follow in order to provide a reliable service for users. **We will make reasonable efforts to remove deleted information from our systems as quickly as is practical.**

    112112  * No loading of external images by default. Many marketing or spam messages include hidden "web bugs" embedded in external images. Typically, when these images are loaded, the web bugs signal that the email address is active, thereby helping companies further perfect their recipient list for marketing or spam messages. Not loading external images helps to prevent this.  
    113   * Minimized "referrer" header information. When you click on links in messages, the web browser that loads contains a referrer header. When you click on links in Gmail, Google takes steps to eliminate this referrer header, preventing others from knowing that you clicked on a link from an email.

    137 When we began the limited test of Gmail, we expected our service would be the subject of intense interest. What we did not anticipate was the reaction from some privacy activists, editorial writers and legislators, many of whom condemned Gmail without first seeing it for themselves. We were surprised to find that some of these activists and organizations refused to even talk to us, or to try first-hand the very service they were criticizing. As we read news stories about Gmail, we have regularly noticed factual errors and out-of-context quotations. Misinformation about Gmail has spread across the web.

    139 That's unfortunate for Google, but why should you care? Because it may affect your right to make your own decisions about how you read your mail. This misinformation threatens to eliminate legitimate and useful consumer choices by means of legislation aimed at innocuous and privacy-aware aspects of our service, while simultaneously deflecting attention from the real privacy issues inherent to all email systems.

    141 Let's be clear: there are issues with email privacy, and these issues are common to all email providers. The main issue is that the contents of your messages are stored on mailservers for some period of time; there is always a danger that these messages can be obtained and used for purposes that may harm you. There exists a real opportunity for misuse of your information by governments, as well as by your email provider. **Careful consideration of the relevant issues, close scrutiny of email providers' practices and policies, and suitable vigilance and enforcement of appropriate legislation are the best defenses against misuse of your information.** The only alternative is to avoid new technology altogether, and forego the benefits it provides.

    143 Various people and organizations, including the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) and Center for Democracy and Technology (CDT), have been helping to focus the debate on the real issues surrounding privacy and email. We've welcomed their input on Gmail and are engaging in a productive dialogue with them, and others.

    145 When we began the limited test of Gmail, we had policies that were substantively no different from those of all other major webmail services. However, we understand that as a leader in our industry, we are held to a higher standard. We don't believe that the questions around email and privacy are resolved, and we are working to better understand what the issues currently are, and what they will be in the future. We are keenly interested in addressing these issues head-on, and in helping to fashion guidelines and public policies that protect the privacy of not only Gmail users, but everyone. We'd like your help in that process.
