Do you think I could harm my websites by enrolling them into google webmaster tools? For example would google discount links between me websites based on the fact that both websites are validated under the same google webmaster tools account? Or would they penalize my other websites if they believe I violated guidlines for one of them? It would be nice to hear people speaking on this topic based on their own experience.
If you were a giant internet scam I would say maybe, but you must realize how large Google is...I doubt they would care you have 2 websites hosted by you interlinking. In fact, it wouldn't make sense if you didn't promote yourself. Google webmaster tools is handy to see where exactly your links are coming from and what % of people are coming to your site based on what kw (similar to analytics). All in all, it's a solid tool to check links and the closest thing webmasters have to verifying their status on the net.
of course, i have 3 websites and use google webmaster tools often and nothing wrong was happened, don't worry about it.
i don't see any problem with that... besides google still going to crawl your site even if you don't use webmaster tool..
I have about 20 websites in Webmaster tools. It works fine. I just wish the search queries were more accurate.
Google webmaster tools is a must have. That is they only "real" way to submit a sitemap to google. You get too much information about your site, keyword ranking, search results ranking on certain keywords, incoming links, outgoing links,,,, the list goes on and on. Personally, I do not know how people run a website without google webmaster tools.
at one point I had a total of 5 web sites under my tools and they all are still indexed even though I sold a 2 and they never put anything up yet.
I have many websites in the Webmaster Tools. These websites have links between them and I have not notice anything wrong.
The truth is unless you pay for an IP your website is hosted in with hundreds of other websites on the server. With out a dedicated IP the server uses host header tags to direct to the website. Google’s webmaster tools are for webmasters, meaning multiple sites. The only reason no to use them is if you are doing something wrong.
It is very safe to use google webmasters tools. These tools helps your websites , by indexing almost all of your pages, getting important results on which keyword your website is ranking higher and much more good stuff.
