Google webmaster tools is a great way to submit your site and have statistics from google such as Google crawl errors, the top search queries that your site comes up for and also the top clicks that sent traffic to your site. Google webmaster tools will also show you details on crawl statistics and also if your site is a blog it will show you how many people have subscribed to your sites feed in google reader (Statistics -> Subscriber Stats). Links -> Pages With External Links will show how many pages have links coming into them. Click and Visit Your URL on the number on the right and detailed statistics will be presented.
Another great Google tool I use is Google Alerts. You can enter search terms you want to be alerted for (or enter your URL) and Google will send out an e-mail based on your preferences. I use this to watch some search terms and also to see when someone links to my site. If you want to increase your blog’s or site traffic, you should contact Atlanta SEO to get the best marketing strategies and seo ontraport alternative services.
These are certainly not the only way to view stats a whole book can be written about Google Analytics alone. What I hope to provide is a couple of new ways for webmasters to keep track of how google views their site and some quick stats.
Two excellent tips which I still keep forgetting to set up! Thanks much for the reminder. 😉

It’s good to read this – I’m glad i found someone else who uses Google alerts for something more than just news stories they’re interested in – I find them invaluable and also by archiving the mails, you can get a good historic picture.

I use Webmaster tools to not only track search results, but also to monitor backlinks. I think it is a great service and it really helps keep track of things.

This is good stuff! I also use Google Keyword External for research now that it includes query counts.
I also glance at Google Hot Trends when writing to see if there is something that fits into the post I’m writing that might be a hot keyword of the moment.
