14 DAY TRIAL // Today is Valentine's Day so lovers from all around the world are celebrating their relationship with gifts and professions of love. As you know, Google is a firm that tries to keep its clients close to the company by revealing multiple ways for communications with its employees or customer support provided through feedback forms or e-mail addresses. Because it's the perfect time to show their commitment to their users, Google's employees posted a message on the official blog of the company to announce new improvements added to the webmaster tools solution.
Webmaster tools represent some interesting utilities provided by the search giant that help webmaster enhance the performance of the Google tools used on their pages. The tools contain multiple programs meant to offer more power over the products provided by the company, using a simple web interface available on the official page of the service. Because the tools are quite popular, the company announced today that Webmaster Tools are now out of beta, the utilities being now available as a final version.
"The Sitemaps protocol has evolved into version 0.9, and Microsoft and Yahoo have joined us in that support to provide standards that make it easier for you to communicate with search engines. We're excited about how much information we've been able to learn about your sites and we plan to continue to develop the best ways for you to provide us with information about individual pages on your sites," Vanessa Fox from Google sustained in a blog post.
Another improvement made by the company concerns the Webmaster Central Blog, one of the most used ways for reading the latest information about the utilities provided by the company. Because the number of readers and visitors is quite impressive, Google decided to block the possibility to comment, trying to keep a clean blog available for all readers. Today, Vanessa Fox announced the comments are now available so every person should feel free to post their opinions about the articles.
"Our goal is improved communication with webmasters, and while our blog, discussion forum, and tools help us reach that goal, you can now post comments and feedback directly on this blog as well. This helps you talk to us about topics we're posting. We want to do all we can to encourage an open dialogue between Google and the webmaster community; this is another avenue to do that," the Google employee sustained.
