Google's New Webmaster Tools

Google has unveiled new upgrades to the webmaster tools. This latest update includes content analysis and sitemap details which allow webmasters to pin point pages with optimization problems. This can eliminate potential issues that could affect the site's ability to be crawled and indexed; resulting in better indexing of the site by Google and other search engines.

The Content analysis summary features three main categories.
• Title tag issues
• Meta description issues
• Non-indexable content issues

This is going to be an invaluable tool for me. I work on large sites with hundreds of thousands of pages of content and hundreds added every day, impossible to track and look at every piece of data. Being able to utilize this content analysis tool is extremely helpful to find those needles in a hay stack. In my case I found about a Dozen pages that were having problems according to this tool. I never would have found these errors on my own though.
So if you haven’t already submitted your sitemap to Google you should go to the Google webmaster tools and submit one this will help your site get better indexing in Google and give you invaluable free search optimization tools.
