Google Webmaster Tools


I've taken my first glimpse at Google's Webmaster Tools and it says I have no site map. I thought VBSEO created one. If so, how do I go about submitting the VBSEO site map to Google. Anyone try this before?

Hmm... I guess the first question should be whether or not anyone actually uses Google's Webmaster tools! Is there anything of value there??

Re: Google Webmaster Tools


Theres lots of stuff of value there. You can track how your sites getting indexed, key words that are being searched for to your site, problems googlebot might have while crawling your site and loads of other information too.

Make sure to get analytics installed as well, as that is a whole nother beast to make good use of!

Re: Google Webmaster Tools


That's kinda what I thought but Google's Webmaster Tools says it doesn't have one for PC101.com Hmm... maybe I have submit it manually to GWT??

To anyone who's used GWT... when you first signed in, did it indicate what it had one for your site?

Re: Google Webmaster Tools


vBSEO submits your sitemap to Google, but you can claim ownership of it in GWT by uploading the URL yourself.
