Google Webmaster Tools offers some of the best free performance information on your site's activity. There isn't a good reason that I can think of, why you should not make use of it as another resource in your home business marketing strategy. To make the decision easy I've put together 8 reasons why you should use this resource below.
Reason #1: Although submitting your website to Google's Webmaster Tools does not influence your ranking within Google's search results, it provides the information you need to get better rankings within Google and other search engines.
Reason #2: Google Webmaster Tools provides information to you regarding search terms/keywords on how people are finding your site. This alone is invaluable as it helps you to understand how content is effecting your sites performance.
Reason #3: Understand if your website has any errors within it's code that may affect your visitors ability to access your website. This is critical because if you are getting visitors to your site but they are having difficulty viewing your content you are losing potential customers.
Reason #4: By joining Google Webmaster Tools you are increasing the chances that your site will be indexed faster. Once again Google does not guarantee that your site will be indexed by utilizing Webmaster Tools however it establishes a formal connection for your site and helps you to create a more SEF (Search Engine Friendly) site.
Reason#5: With Google Webmaster tools find out exactly who is linking to your site. This is very important for SEO purposes. Also find out what all of your internal links look like to Google. Part of the SEO process is dependent on internal and external links
Reason #6: View your site's crawl stats and find out how many pages Google actually finds on your site. You can also do this quickly by going to Google and typing site:yoursitename.com this will return all of the pages Google has indexed in your site. Say for example you have 100 pages in your site and the Google stats say that there are only 75. You can go to each of the page to see if there is anything wrong with them.
Reason #7: There are numerous ways that you can get help on your site through the Google Webmaster Tools site such as a Webmaster's Help Forum, Videos on You Tube about how to use Webmaster Tools and a number of other helpful sources.
Reason #8: It's totally free.
