Written by Kaspar Szymanski and the European Guides Team, DublinA year ago Google Guides from the Search Quality Team started monitoring Google Webmaster Help Groups in European languages. It has been an interesting time and a great, rewarding experience for all those involved :o). We have enjoyed building and growing our communities with webmasters across Europe and we hope you have as well. The feedback we have been receiving since the beginning has been encouraging, with many webmasters responding positively to the opportunity to be able to solve their indexing issues in their native language. Still, we are aware that we have a lot of work ahead of us. I would like to thank everyone who has been active in our communities and invite those who have not joined yet to do so. Sign up, participate and help us make a difference.
Taking advantage of this anniversary, I would like the European Google Guides to have a chance to say a few words about their communities.
Polish Webmaster Help GroupGuglarz, the Polish Google GuideOur group grew very fast, especially in the last few months and we are well on the way to hitting 600 users! But what I appreciate even more then our group's success, is the open, friendly spirit we have been cultivating in the last twelve months :o). I feel like this is a community that is able to help with indexing issues and beyond!
I already pointed out some exceptional community members in the last blog post about
communication with webmasters in a dozen languages. Since then, a few more have joined the list of tremendously committed, group-driving contributors.
Bigu has been jumping in every time I've been traveling or very busy, which is the reason why I’d like to thank him a lot.
Also I want to acknowledge
Maciej Gluszek for escalating language issues we used to struggle with. You guys help to improve the Google experience for everyone.
Lastly, I want to invite all group members to the
chit chat section in order to introduce yourself and share some more information about who you are and what you do. I am really curious to find out more about the people I work with! I hope to see you in the group soon :o).

The atmosphere is really great and loads of issues are resolved thanks largely to our dedicated and wise users. I would especially like to thank

Google diskussionsgruppe for webmastersGoogleGuide (Jonas)The Danish group has been slowly gaining more subscribers since its launch last year, and we still hope to attract more people. We've grown almost 100% in the past year, and we hope to keep up the steam! (: This growth wouldn't have been possible without the help of Anders who contributes equal amounts of webmaster goodness in the form of sharing his tips on 301's and moving content to a new domain (which has been the hottest and most debated topic in the group), to issues on getting your site better indexed and crawled. So a big thanks to Anders, and all the others who have made this group useful for everybody.

Ajuda a Webmasters do Google PedroThe Portuguese Webmaster Help Group is now above 1200 members. The success of the group is a reflection on the great community built by every single contributor. Special thanks to
Carlos Lavieri,
Rodrigo Soares,
Leandro Leite e

Recently I had the chance of giving a few public interviews to Portuguese speaking webmasters and recognizing the group and its success publicly. I'd also like to take the opportunity to thank my interviewers for their great questions; if you speak Portuguese or you are a Google Translator fan you can read them:
Entrevista com Pedro Dias (by Paulo Teixeira) and
Entrevista a Pedro Dias (by Kazulo Webmarketing). It is a great pleasure to be a part of such an awesome community.

Paul-Arnaud and

Swedish Webmaster Help GroupHessam, the Swedish Google GuideThe small Swedish webmaster forum, with currently almost 200 users, has almost tripled its size since its launch last July. During the past year we have seen a steady growth in user participation and a number of questions from our Swedish webmasters. I also had the chance to attend Search Marketing Expo (SMX) Stockholm 2007 which was definitely the highlight of the year. There I was able to meet a number of Swedish webmasters to talk about Google, our Webmaster Tools as well as the cold Swedish winter. During the coming year we are determined to further grow the community to better support our users. Lastly, a big thanks goes to everyone who has supported the group, especially
Mattias Nordin and
Widar Nord who have contributed with their knowledge and time. I am looking forward to hearing more from our regulars and would like to extend an invite to new members.

Google Diskussionsforum für WebmasterUliWith more than 2700 members and almost a thousand posts per month, the German Webmaster Help Group has developed into a vibrant community. You will find many very savvy webmasters there who are always prepared to discuss all webmaster-related issues and offer advice to both beginners and advanced webmasters.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has contributed to this forum. Some webmasters like
luzie,
alpaka,
beejees,
Garzosch have been a crucial part of our group since this group began, and with the likes of
Zombie joining in October,
Mikki in January and
Sistrix in March after having the pleasure of meeting him at
SMX in Munich, we have an ever-growing pool of wisdom :-)

Foro de Google para Webmasters Rebecca,
AlvarThe Spanish webmaster group now has almost 2500 members. We have some wonderful webmasters that offer great advice and support, people like
Ricardo Antonio,
Enrique de Mesa,
Jesús Cáceres (chupi),
Jose Antonio Nobile (nobilesoft),
Carles Pastor, and many others who help make this forum work as well as it does. Recently we had one member visit whose site had been hacked with a cloaking technique and the community was able to help point out how to detect the hidden links and clear the hacked content. It’s great to see his website clean again and up and running.
If you want to know who is behind this forum, have a look at the
video where we introduce the forum and Webmaster Tools. Additionally, please give any feedback you may have in the
thread where we present the video. By the way, it was great meeting some of you guys face to face at the SMX Madrid conference.

Google Discussiegroep voor Webmaster Andre,
JosOur Dutch Webmaster Help Group now has well over 700 members. Some of our regular posters, like Marketsharer, Janus and Joop are doing a great job helping a lot of our less experienced (as well as more experienced!) webmasters with their questions. Recently, some Dutch webmasters have been dealing with the fact that their sites have been hacked. We've added a
sticky post to the group to help webmasters clean up their sites after getting hacked, so if you are dealing with this issue, do have a look at the group! At this moment, the group is still steadily growing and we are really looking forward to reaching the 1000 members mark!

Google Assistenza WebmasterLella,
Alessandro,
Stefano The Italian webmaster group is about to turn one year old pretty soon and has been a great success. We have a bunch of fabulous witty power posters like Angelo Palma (
Angelo), Marco (
Customsoft) and others that keep on massively contributing to the success of the group day by day. Over the last year we achieved excellent results both in terms of traffic increase and new users posting frequently. Coordinating the localization of the post on paid links - later translated into 14 languages - was a turning point for the Webmaster Help team. So was Lella's blog post in
English,
German and
Italian about the Search Engine Strategies Conference in London, where she represented Google as a speaker.
