    So far "More information about penalties or other scoring issues" is winning. I agree that this is what they need to work on most.

    Here's the link: http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/type/googleseo/

    Here are the options:

    What should the webmaster central team do next?

    * More information about penalties or other scoring issues
    * Tools for detecting or reporting duplicate content
    * Show PageRank numbers instead of none/low/medium/high
    * Show links on your site that are broken
    * Score the crawlability or accessibility of pages
    * Tell Google the correct country or language for a site
    * Tool to help move from one domain to a new domain
    * Some type of rank checking
    * Diagnostic wizard for common site problems
    * A way to list supplemental result pages
    * Option to "disavow" backlinks from or to a site
    * Show causes of 404 errors
    * Fetch a page as Googlebot to verify correct behavior
    * Tell Google a parameter doesn't matter
    * Show pages that don't validate
    * Ability to show/download all pages from a site (e.g. if your server crashed)
    * Integrate "Add URL" feature
    * More documentation and examples

    Score the crawlability or accessibility of pages

    I definately agree with the above one. Accessibility is a very important issue, that doesn't seem to get the attention that it deserves.

    I would have to say the dup content one. It is hard as an article marketer to tell who is copying me, or whom I might be copying inadvertently. We just had an issue with that recently, one of our copy writers basically copied word for word a doc from an article 2 years old, and she claimed that she wrote everything from scratch.

    Make what they have already update more than once every 7 years, then work on new stuff.

    Would indeed be nice to know why half of your websites are penalized month after month.
