Google Webmasters tools has just been upgraded with new features and improved functionality. The Google Webmasters Tools teams have named this one the “Summer Shine” update.
Each change and improvement to the user interface has been based on user requests and has been designed to offer increased functionality. The changes are as follows:
1) The Site Selector now lists all verified websites and allows you to search for a site name as you type.
2) You can now block site links from appearing on internal page listings, this will be a very welcome update.
3) URL removal requests are now historic and recorded on a domain level. This allows multiple webmasters to verify url removal and trace requests. Great addition to the system.
4) Sitemaps are now easier to recognise as verified or not verified with a new attention grabbing logo.
It’s great to see that Google listens to its users and changes and upgrades are of real benefit and not just aesthetic.
