Yesterday, two Rockfish experts spoke in two very different venues: Senior Search Scientist Steve Plunkett was keynote for day 2 of Search Exchange in Charlotte, North Carolina, while Executive Creative Director Jason Bender presented on the benefits of working against tight deadlines at Cincinnati Digital XChange.

The next couple of months will be even busier for Rockfish on the speaking circuit. We hope to see you at the following events.

New Google Webmaster Tools - Easier navigation without GPS

Navigation reflects how search works

We’ve organized the Webmaster Tools features in groups that match the stages of search:

Crawl: see information about how we discover and crawl your content. Here you will findcrawl stats, crawl errors, any URLs you’ve blocked from crawling, Sitemaps, URL parameters, and the Fetch as Google feature.
Google Index: keep track of how many of your pages are in Google’s index and how we understand their content: you can monitor the overall indexed counts for your site (Index Status), see what keywords we’ve found on your pages (Content Keywords), or request toremove URLs from the search results.
Search Traffic: check how your pages are doing in the search results — how people find your site (Search Queries), who’s recommended your site (Links to Your Site), and see a sample of pages from your site that have incoming links from other internal pages.
Search Appearance: mark up your pages to help Google understand your content better during indexing and potentially influence how your pages appear in our search results. This includes the Structured Data dashboard, Data Highlighter, Sitelinks, and HTML Improvements.
