With Google® Webmaster Tools, your web pages are submitted to the Google index. You can get detailed reports about the visibility of your pages on Google, sitemap details, and statistical information about your Web site. When you publish your site with WebSite Tonight, your Web pages are automatically submitted to Google and an account is created for your site.
Some additional features of Google Webmaster Tools include:
- Sitemap errors
- Robots.txt analysis
- Advanced indexing information about your site
- Query statistics about your site
- Crawl statistics about your site
- Page analysis of your site
- URLs from your site that Google was unable to crawl, and why Google couldn't crawl them
Note: If you already have a Google Webmaster Tools account, or have already submitted a sitemap, a duplicate account will not negatively affect your account. The Google Webmaster Tools feature in WebSite tonight will not override previous accounts or submissions.
