When did that happen? I'm getting all kinds of cool info- search terms, crawl success, and other groovy stuff. Looks like they integrated with analytics!
Yeah just saw it myself.. very nice.. JESUS CHRIST GOOGLE STOP IT ALREADY. I got work to do.. I don't need new sitemaps, googlebase and analytics in a period of 36 hours. Pace yourself big fella.
Check out the Google sitemaps control panel. Once you verify your site (you have to create a file of a specific name to show it's yours) Google will show a load of stats - query statistics, crawl errors and more. You don't actually need to create a sitemap either - just enter the URL and do the verification.
This feature shows loads more info than last time I looked at it. I reckon it will get better - I am seeing quite a few "Data is not currently available. Please check back later for statistics about your site. " messages.
Hmm.. I noticed the stats change but I personally am not getting much information on them. All I can see is the top 5 keywords related to my domain... not much information there... Am I missing out on anything? Whats so special about the new sitemaps?
it doesnt tell you top 5 keywords that take people to your site, it tells u the top 5 keywords your domain shows up for. Thats an impossible stat to get without Google giving it up. Very nice Edit: all the above may be a lie. I think I misread the sitemaps page. Edit 2: I stand by my original statement.
This is bloody excellent. The errors section is really telling me to add some mod_rewrite bits in to cover some 404s!
When sitemaps stats say so and so high medium and low ranking pages, what do they mean? High = which pagerank range? Anybody has a clue?
