Google Launches New Features For WebMaster Tools
There are new Labs features for Google Webmaster Tools – you should check them out.
The features are “malware details” and “fetch as googlebot”
In order to help webmasters eliminate malware, Google is now sharing snippets of code from pages it considers malware.
“To help protect users against malware threats, Google has built automated scanners that detect malware on websites we’ve indexed,” says Google’s Lucas Ballard (of the Anti-malware, Anti-malvertising, and Webmaster Tools teams). “Pages that are identified as dangerous by these scanners are accompanied by warnings in Google search results, and browsers such as Google Chrome, Firefox, and Safari also use our data to show similar warnings to people attempting to visit suspicious sites.”
“While it is important to protect users, we also know that most of these sites are not intentionally distributing malware. We understand the frustration of webmasters whose sites have been compromised without their knowledge and who discover that their site has been flagged,” Ballard says.
The Fetch as Googlebot feature lets users see if some of their pages have been hacked and help them understand why they aren’t ranking for certain keywords.
“Our keywords and HTML suggestions features help you understand the content we’re extracting from your site, and any issues we may be running into at crawl and indexing time.,” says Webmaster Tools Product Manager Sagar Kamdar. “However, we realized it was important to provide the ability for users to submit pages on their site and get real-time feedback on what Googlebot sees.”Grizzly Rage film
