    Hello DP members,

    One query is peeping on my mind since yesterday. The query is if I don't submit my site to google webmaster tool then will I have any problem on getting PR and SERP on google? Will google crawl my site if I don't add my site to google webmaster tool?

    it is not necessary but it is recommended because it fastens the process of indexing your site to be seen in google search results

    you dont need to add it there as majority of the sites are not added. if you are doing SEO on your site and would like to track some data like backlinks, crawl error etc and would like to get important notification when your site is removed from display due to being hacked/malware injection etc, you need to add it there. google also sends out notification emails when they detect unnatural link building activities on your site. there are so many benefits for site owners that it is suggested that you add your site there.

    SEO conspiracy theorists believe that adding your site to GWT will possibly have a negative ranking effect on you - as they would "know" if you're building links.

    I think it's a great idea to have your site in GWT, especially if you're running a lot of sites.
    I don't have the time to do all of the checks Google does for me .. AND IT'S FREE - which is always good ;)

    Yes you should use it. It's only a matter of a gmail account and upload a single html file to verify. But the information you get is more than that effort. You can track your website fully. You will be notified if your pages is not working or generating 404 or 500 errors. Other than that a lot of things you will get. What I think is if you are going to up a website, you should always do three things
    First, open Google webmaster account and verify your site
    Second, generate and upload XML sitemap of your website and submit it in webmaster
    Third, insert Google Analytics code to track your website traffic even if you are not getting more in initial stage but it will help a lot later.

    When you apply for GWT they say that the approval will not affect your PR or SERP.
    But GWT gives you valuable information.

    To know about your site on Goolge like crawling, indexing etc Google webmasters tool help you alot. It gives detailed reports about your pages' visibility on Google. It provides Google's view of your site and diagnose problems. You can check how Google crawl your site. It tells you the problems occurring in your site according to Google, about sitemap, any Malware and spam etc.

    There are persistent rumors though that Google uses both Webmaster tool and Analytics to spy on sites and a lot of Panda and Penguin probings have been thanks to Google Analytics. I have been told this not by some conspiracy theory nut but by established SEO companies.

    I like the tools site for giving more info than google analytics gives. In particular being able to track rank position for given keywords. This is because even with preferences turned off and not logged in, google chrome still seems to put my site a lot higher on my PC than it ranks its position in tools (the real position for everyone else).

    Yes, you should add your site to all major search engine. As a new website, it is quite hard to get traffic at your website from Search Engine if you don't introduce your website to Search Engine..
