Google Sitemaps – just introduced two months ago got even better now!


After submitting your site under https://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps/login (you don't even need to submit an XML sitemap!!) you will get a great number of new crawler related feedback items for your site:

Sitemap Query stats

Top search queries – these are the top queries to Google that return pages from your site.
Top search query clicks – these are the top queries to Google that directed traffic to your site (based on the number of clicks to your pages in our search results) … hoho – they have search user behaviour built in proof!

Sitemap Crawl stats

These statistics provide distribution information for pages we have crawled and also shows page rank distribution across all pages crawled (divided in High/Med/Low and not-assigned page rank).

Sitemap Page analysis

These statistics show you how the Googlebot sees your site.

Not sure whats happening – currently getting Data is not available at this time. Please check back later for statistics about your site.

Sitemap Index stats

nothing special, just quick link: site: etc. commands to access

Overall some very nice new features, giving a lot of webmasters and incentive to signup and add their sites to the sitemap tool!
