One Nice Thing About Google Webmaster Central

The Google Webmaster Central has been updated lately, and a number of features have been added. I probably won’t have need for most of them. But I will say it’s very helpful to have some Google-side record of crawling events. This way, if you ever make a mistake on your end, you get notice without having to wait an interminable amount of time.

In the past, you would have had to just try and guess what went wrong. All the while you would probably be in a bad emotional state because your traffic and revenue plummeted. Now you can get a decent idea quickly of what needs to be fixed.

This will end up saving webmasters a lot of grief. So even if Google doesn’t like to communicate with webmasters on a personal basis, they can still offer clues to improving indexing. So the next time you notice a plummet in rankings or something equally disturbing, just log in to Webmaster Central and pay attention to any warnings or errors you have. You may just solve your problem quickly.
