Google Webmaster Tools

After setting up permalinks and correcting meta-tags it’s time to build a sitemap for my lovely blog which already has thousands of visitors every day. Sitemaps are great tools to help search engines discover the pages on your site. If you don’t have a sitemap yet, consider building one. You can find some detailed explanation about sitemaps on Google’s Webmaster Help Center. Again for Wordpress we have a great plugin: Google Sitemap Generator. For those who haven’t got a clue about what this plugin does from it’s name: This plugin generates a google sitemap. Surprising, isn’t it? Anyway, I’ve downloaded this plugin from this link and activated from my admin panel. And got my first sitemap.xml file. So what am I gonna do this file? Yep, Google Webmaster Tools. Google provides a set of very useful tools that you can use to analize your web site. It provides feedback about crawl issues, meta-tag issues, index status etc. I’m planning to write a detailed post about webmaster tools. I verified RunSEORun.com on Google Webmaster Tools and submitted my sitemap.xml. All I can do for now is to wait Google spiders to crawl my blog. Hope it’ll not took much.
