How to add a site to Google Webmaster Tools

Google Webmaster Tools

Google Webmaster Tools is a excellent way to track keywords, broken URL’s and much more activity on your site.  It’s a great free tool from Google to help you get simple data about how users are finding your site or linking to your site.  While it is not as advanced as Google Analytics it works slightly differently by giving you information about how Google Search Spiders crawl your site.

In this video I show how you can add a MemberGate site to Webmaster Tools but this is the same for any site although you will need to upload you own file to your site using an ftp program.

The quality of the video is a little poor, I apologies for that as I recorded it at the wrong screen size and then YouTube re-sized it again but the content and information is still the same. You can watch it and then add your own site for tracking.

Firstly signup for a Google Webmaster account then  view the video below.

To get more up to date information about Webmaster tools I suggest subscribing to their blog feed and also reading some of the articles.  As mentioned in my video Google have simplified the verification process but you still need to upload the file to your site.

Good blog, just looking around some blogs, seems a fairly nice platform you’re using. I’m presently using Wordpress for a couple of of my sites but looking to change one of them over to a platform comparable to yours like a trial run. Anything in particular you would recommend about it?

I am very interested in learning more about this. This seems like a very accurate way to track activity on my site which is something I was having trouble with before. Thanks for the information, I will definitely subscribe to there blog feed.
