There is a multitude of web-based services and products specifically designed for web developers. They help us perform tasks ranging from content management to positioning websites in google. One of the most useful recources for web developers, site publishers and seo service providers is "Google's webmaster tools." Making proper use of Google's webmaster tools is the best way to make your website(s) "Google-friendly." If you own a website, you may want to take advantage of these tools yourself. Many SEO specialists will suggest that you don't, but if you you have time to spare (and I mean lots of time), Google's webmaster tools is one of the most basic and helpful resources available online for helping you positioning your website. Google's webmaster tools is one of hundreds of easy-to-use resources available online to help you position your website. With Google's webmaster tools, you can see how google views your site in the simplest of terms and Google's webmaster tools will even help you diagnose potential easy-to-fix problems that may or not be preventing your site from positioning better.
Google webmaster tools will tell you how Googlebot interprets your website show you how your website is indexed by Google. The included tools will tell you which search queries most often returned pages from your website, and which of them were clicked, the current pagerank for pages on your site. ItÕll help you locate errors and problems encountered by Google's crawlers while accessing pages on your website as well as potential problems with site metadata, such as title and meta description information and errors and problems encountered by Google's crawlers while accessing pages on your wesite created specifically for viewing on mobile cell phones.
Google webmaster tools will tell you which pages on your site have links pointing to them from other sites, which links on your site have been identified as candidates for appearing directly in Google search results and which pages on your site have links pointing to them internally from elsewhere on your site. Getting links to your site is a very time consuming and potentially hazardous task, but a necessecity if you would like to position your website. If youÕd like your site to be looked at negatively, take advantage of one of many url submission services available online. IÕve seen such services offered for as low as $50 a month. Taking advantage of these services is an easy way to get google to interpret that you are a net spammer, so, naturally, I strongly suggest you donÕt take such a service into consideration unless you plan on spamming the web and dropping the domain after itÕs been red flagged.
Google sitemaps is quite possibly the most basic and helpful tool within Google Webmaster Tools. Submitting a sitemap for your website basically help Google discover pages that googleÕs crawlers might not otherwise notice. There are even web-based google sitemap generators located on external websites. If you intend to create a sitemap for the first time, I highly suggest doing that. I could go into larger detail explaining the different formats and types, but maybe at a later time in a seperate article. In general, you can add a ãgeneral web sitemap,Ó ãa mobile sitemap,Ó a code search sitemap, a video sitemap or simply lists pages that are meant to be accessed by internet browsers. Once youÕve ascertained what kind of sitemap is best for you and youÕve created a sitemap for your in a supported format, add it.
There are a few additional tools in google's webmaster tools that may be of some use. There are tools that analyze your robots.txt, allow you to associate a particular geographic location with your site if you are targeting users within a specific country, enable a google-enhanced image search for images on your site, which also includes advanced labeling techniques for images hosted by google and even show how often google crawls your site, which includes and option for adjusting that speed. Google's webmaster tools also includes pretty copesetic tool that enables you to decide whether your site should be recognized as www.yourdomain.com or simply as yoursite.com without the ãwwwÓ prefix and (wink wink) beleive it or not, Google's webmaster tools will even help you clean up google by enabling you to remove URLs, thus eliminating unecessary content from the Google index.
Will your website appear within the first three pages of google results just by taking advantage of Google's webmaster tools, adding meta keywords and getting links to your website? In all probability, it won't. A good seo campaign takes anywhere from 150 - 1000 hours of work per year, not to mention the time you half to spend educating yourself, but then again, you took time to read this article, so give it a try. It will definately help you position your website better.
