Google Webmaster Tools
Google Webmaster Tools is a set of web tools that Google offers to help manage your website. There are basically three things you can do using the tools available here:
1. Find out your sites existing and potential problems as seen by Google.
From the start Google will automatically tell you whether your site has been indexed or not. If it hasn’t it will prompt you to verify your site and give you the reasons why Google is having problems crawling your site. You can also use the tools there to diagnose whether Google is having any problems with your Robots.txt file.
2. Find out how your website is performing.
Webmaster Tools are also a good source of important information about your site. Though statistics about your site’s traffic can be found using Google Analytics and other non-Google analysis software what you will really useful is the indexing information Google will share with you. It shows how your site is indexed and if they find any violations within your site, which if you are unaware of will result in penalties. The great thing about this is that since you know about it Google gives you a chance to actually tweak your site and correct the problem pages so it can be reindexed.
3. Actively submit information about your site to Google to help increase your site’s crawlability.
Google lets you submit sitemap files (XML files) so that it will be easier to index your pages. Another benefit of sitemaps is that it gives them information on the frequency of page updates. Aside from this, those with multiple domains can submit to Google their preferred domain so that Google will index the domain you want as well as be aware that the other domains are not just plagiarizing your content.
