As far as I know Google Webmaster Tools is the best tool on the Internet for webmasters. Primarily because we can know what Google sees in our site…

Hey. very good post.

I always pay attention to GWT has to say, I always use the Diagnostics tab. Plus, every time i update my site I also update my sitemap files with the new pages. It has been working very well for me and my pages are indexed very fast.

@ Computer Tips,
Yes you can use it in blogger, you have to add the verification key in Header Tag in blogger which is accessible through your dashboard. I believe you click on “LAYOUT”, then “EDIT HTML” and there you have the header source code, just follow instructions from Webmaster Tools to add your code, you can also add G Analytics to track your traffic as well.

Hi Missy, Thanks. I know there is so much in GWT, that it is easy to miss things. Are you using Wordpress? if you are, then get this XML Sitemap plug-in for WP two clicks and you have a great sitemap to give to G, it really helps. Plus read my guide to Meta Tags and it will show you how to do them, very simply!

GWT was definitely a godsend for me: I was able to diagnose (and fix) several duplicate content issues and this has helped in my SERP. Also, I can see the links more clearly than when you do one of those Link searches in Google search engine.

For the price (FREE), a great value! Highly Recommended, like Google Chrome.

Hi, Jr:
I belong to GWT and have most of my blogs listed. I swear everytime i read an article on GWT (such as this one) i learn something new.

Didn’t know about the “What Googlebot Sees” tab or about the “Internal Linking” report tab. Very cool tool.

I need to do some major SEO and link analysis with my veg blog (Groovy Vegetarian) as it has stalled at PR 2, for about 3 updates now. I have never been able to figure out the meta tags thing or the sitemap thing. I tried once to add a sitemap to the blog and it screwed something up. I have fussed with it since.

Plus i read somewhere a sitemap is not really necessary for an established blog. It is just kind of an extra and is meant for new blogs.

As for my continuous PR 2 status i was told to limit the links on the homepage, and to add “nofollow” to ad links and to sidebar links. (not the blogroll links, but everything else)

Awesome post!
Missy.
