Google Webmaster Tool logo?
.: Ya ya yaa~ :-P

(Disclaimer: I'm not one of the googler, and this post is not from their human resource either. I'm just letting you know that this Webmaster post is still open until today~)

What is Google Webmaster?
Webmaster : The person who is responsible for designing or managing a website.

So, a Google Webmaster is : An opportunity to let internet marketers or ordinary blogger feels the Google's hardship when designing or managing their blogs and websites. LOL~  :-P

If you become one of their webmaster, you will gain access to their most powerful tools, the Google Webmaster Tool. Their most powerful tools?

Google Webmaster Tools

While originally this tools is used for helping our website or blogs to definitely appears in Google SERP, as an internet marketer this tools can help to amplify our site conversions from much more precise and better targeting.

Things inside Webmaster tools can help us as an internet marketer:
  • Settings : I like this the most because I can make my blog to be specifically shown to users from my preferred geographic target (Talking about localization). Leave it unchanged if you don't wish to do geo-targeting.
  • Search queries : Now we can know which searched queries that bring our readers to our blog. Because that keyword is what we're known for~ 
  • Links to your site : How many times our blog is linked, plus the 'Your most linked content' can shows us which blog post gets the most attention. (That's why they link it to us).
  • Keywords : This is a list of commonly found keywords written in our blog. If our blog specialize in listing eating places, our most common keywords should be related to "eateries", not other keywords than that.. 
  • Malware : This one special tools is able to tell if our blog is infected by malwares so action can be taken to fix it.. X-O  

In their 2010 SEO video, this malware detection tool has been told to public. This tool is extremely important when we use self-hosted WordPress as our site. Because sometimes we never know why users cannot access to our site (because it was blocked by Firefox when they try to open it), so this tool can help us to check it out. I wonder if there is other way to check malware infected sites for free?  :-?

One more thing before we apply for this webmaster post - today I read about niche making challenge and one advice I've learn there is to not using Google webmaster tool at all. This is because that once you reach the $100/day mark from your Adsense income, you'll face the de-indexing thing... urmmmm... :-(
(This statement is still doubtful. But you can get the point.)

I thought if we play by the rules, nothing bad will happen.. :-(

So, it is up to you whether you want to apply for this webmaster post or not. I just want to try and look how this tool can help me or not. After I had that $100/day, I will think again about using other options to manage my blogs.
