Do you use Google Webmaster Tools?

[~kev~]

Google webmaster tools is the only tool that I use. I have been using it for around a year, and with very good results. The "what googlebot sees" is a powerful tool to see "where" your target keywords are ranking in relation to your site.

The site map feature is great. It tells you all kinds of information that can help get more of your pages indexed.

Yep, I started using it a few months ago. I wish I started sooner.

google analytics is a too good tool for stats and analysis. I am fan of its features of site overlay and funnel creation.

Google Webmaster Tools reported a warning in my sitemaps, and helped me fix it. Now no more warnings.

Google Webmaster Tool really helps. No need to mention it again. Google really rocks and rules on the web World.

forum seems to be giving me some hard problems in seeing the attached images. None the less I am sure it's just a temporary thing, probably a small bug.

I use it of course. It's very usefull. but sometimes, it takes a few days to be indexed. I like submitting my site in digg too after submitting on google webmaster. By digg submission, only 2 days needed to be indexed. But, if I don't submit it on digg, only google webmaster, maybe within 3-5 days my site will be indexed.

Why is it so? does anyone know?

[lordspace]

Maybe there are millions of URLs waiting in the queue that's why there is a delay
