Are Googles Webmaster tools working ok?

    Hi,

    just logged onto my google webmaster tools and its showing a few of my sites with very few pages indexed, one site has 288 pages scanned in the xml sitemap successfully, but it says now only 21 indexed, its normally more than 200.
    But more unusually is that if i check the external links it shows 0. now this is impossible as this particular site had more than 12,000 links before with some from very high pr and government site links.

    just wondered if anybody else noticed anything?

    How long have you been using webmaster tools? Maybe data was not yet downloaded by google webmaster tool.

    Hi I know this is an old thread but I was wondering if you could help me, I have been trying to use webmaster tools on my blog but I keep entering the meta tag correctly but it wont verify the site. I have a thread on this you can find by typing "webmaster tools " and "blogger" into the search bar (if you cant find it PM me and I will happily send you the link :)

    Sometimes the ISP issues and old caches might be the reason. Try logging out and then clearing your browser's cache and then re-login.
