Google Webmaster Central out of BETA
Posted by admin
As a Valentines treat Google Webmaster Central is now out of Beta.
You have to verify that you are the site owner, this process is simple if you have access to the site - all you need to do is add a temporary META tag (or upload a file). Of course, if you don’t have direct control over the site then this verification process may take a little time.
Tools available include:
- Crawl errors - useful to see if Google is having any problems crawling your site
- Crawl rate - information on how much and how often your site is crawled, plus an option to speed up/slow down the crawl rate
- Statistics - Your site’s PageRank, top search queries you feature in, analysis of your page content and incoming link text
- Links - this is best feature! You can view, download, and analyse information on all external links and internal links.
It’s a good example of Google reaching out to the webmaster community, and there are some useful tools in there, and nice to have all the information in one control panel.
You can also associate multiple sites with the same account, so if you have multiple clients you can use the one control panel to look at information across all your clients’ sites.
Go only for trusted names in hosting services like godaddy. Not only do they offer free web design templates, but their backup features save your computers as well.
