Another Google Webmaster Tools Update

23rd October 2007

I’m not sure when they added this but I just happened to notice there are new columns inside Google’s Webmaster tools.

If you go to statistics - top search queries, you’ll see that you can now see an overall percentage number for what percentage of your search terms that your site appears for,

and for how much traffic each search term drove to your site from Google -

There’s even a scale along the top now that shows you a history dating back six months -

*ahh - that’s not working - perhaps the feature needs to exist for 6 months first?

Is there is some competition going on between the team at Analytics, and the team at Webmaster tools?

I’m finding more and more useful items inside Webmaster tools every time I poke around… How long can it be before these two departments are joined together, or at least made accessible from each other’s admin areas?

That would create a huge timesaver - Maybe one could just report selected statistics to the other one?

Thanks again, Google.
