Google Webmaster Tools Updated

If you aren’t familiar with Google’s Webmaster Tools you should be. If you’re just starting a WordPress blog, or any kind of website for that matter, GWT can be undoubtedly beneficial to you and your search engine rankings.

There are several features of this service that can be invaluable to anyone concerned about Google’s search results, and how Google specifically indexes your site. I personally use this tool nearly everyday to optimize my blog for search terms.

Lately, one of the nice new additions to Google Webmaster Tools is “Top Search Queries” on google. Prior to the update, Google only included the last 7 days of your highest ranking search terms. NOW, it goes back as far as 6 months ago. You can see how you’ve increased seo positioning(or decreased) for key terms.

So grab an account if you don’t have one, verify you are the webmaster for your site, and head into “Google Webmaster Tools” as soon as possible.
