We're unrolling some exciting new features in
Webmaster Tools.
First of all, subscriber stats are now available. Webmaster Tools now show feed publishers the number of aggregated subscribers you have from Google services such as
Google Reader,
iGoogle, and
Orkut. We hope this will make it easier to track subscriber statistics across multiple feeds, as well as offer an improvement over parsing through server logs for feed information.
To improve the navigation and look and feel, we've also made some changes to the interface, including:
- No more tabs! Navigate through the new sidebar.
- Breadcrumbs in the page title for easier product navigation.
- A sidebar that expands and contracts to show and hide options based on your current goal.
- New sidebar topics: Overview, Diagnostics, Statistics, Links, Sitemaps, and Tools.
And last but not least, Webmaster Tools is now available in 20 languages! In addition to US English, UK English, French, Italian, Spanish, German, Dutch, Brazilian Portuguese, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Korean, Russian, Japanese, Danish, Finnish, Norwegian, Swedish, and Polish, Webmaster Tools are now in Turkish and Romanian.
Sign in to see these changes for yourself. For questions or feedback, please post in the
Google Webmaster Tools section of our Webmaster Help Group.
Update: some of the functionality described in this post is no longer available.
