SEO News: Google Webmaster Tools Just Got Better
I love Google Webmaster Tools. Well, to be honest, I’m a real fan of most everything Google does. They’ve given us a wealth of information, web tools, and help that we don’t even have to pay for. How can you NOT love Google? Well… if you’re a webmaster that’s been stung by the Google slap before, you may not love Google with 100% of your Internet heart, but hey… you have to give them credit for definite improvement of the Web overall.
I just recently went into my Webmaster Tools account and found a new feature… Labs! Neat-o, right? That means they’ll be trying new experimental stuff in there periodically and right now, there are two new helpers for you to check out.
One is the “Fetch as Googlebot” feature that will retrieve any page of your website and allow you to see it the way Google’s spider does. The benefit to you is that if you’re not seeing your keywords high enough or if the page looks funky or just plain isn’t appearing, you have some work to do. If Google’s spiders can’t see your site properly, no other search bots will see it properly, either.
The other feature is the “Malware Details” checker. If your website has malware on it, you may not even know, but now, Google will tell you. Smart! I’d go back and check this periodically, just because.
Thanks, Google! You really kick major Internet ass.
