If you are looking for some great webmaster tools why not go right to the horse’s mouth. Let Google tell you what they think of your site using their webmaster tools.
It’s easy to get started and all you need is a Google account. If you have an AdWords or AdSense account you can use the same login and password. Then go to:
http://www.google.com/webmasters
Inside Google will tell you:
-Where you pages rank in Google Search for certain terms
-Top search queries for your site
-Top search query clicks for your site
-Show you broken links and pages they couldn’t find
-Index stats
-Analysis of cached robots.txt
-You can upload your sitemap and then rank how important each of your pages is
These are some great tool for all webmasters. You can learn more about what keywords are sending the most visitors to your site and you may find keywords that you never thought to target.
When I checked one of my sites I found out that 2 of my pages are unavailable and these were affiliate redirect pages so it was great to know because I was losing money due to these unavailable redirects.
I also found some interesting stats on what keywords people were using to find my site. Of course these can be found on your own traffic counter report but Google lays it all out in a very organized fashion.
It’s a great tool. Check it out:
