Google Debuts Message Center - Chat with the Company

Google rolled out Message Center, a special function implemented into the Webmaster Tools that allows the company to communicate with the registered members and keep them up to date with the latest information. The best thing about it is that Message Center is a secure way to communicate because the Webmaster Tools were recently affected by several fake email notifications sent to numerous webmasters. At this time, the function works with a limited number of websites but the Mountain View company plans to expand the solution very soon.

"Right now the number of sites we're contacting is small, but we hope to expand this program over time. We're also really happy that the Message Center lets us communicate with webmasters in an authenticated way. As time goes on, we'll keep looking for even more ways to improve communication with site owners, but right now, why not claim your site in our webmaster tools so that we can give you a heads-up of any issues that we see?" Maile Ohye wrote today.

The most interesting thing about this new feature is that it's available in numerous languages such as French, Italian, German, Spanish, Danish, Dutch, Swedish, Russian, Chinese-Simplified, Chinese-Traditional, Korean, Japanese and even others.

The Google Webmaster Tools represent a very useful set of utilities meant to offer valuable information to the site owners in order to help them configure and set up their pages for maximum performance. Since it was released, the service attracted an impressive community of users that were continuously experiencing the Webmaster Tools in all kinds of actions concerning their websites.

"Should we need to contact you, you'll see a notification in your Webmaster Tools dashboard. Initially the messages will refer to search quality issues, but over time we'll use the Message Center as a communication channel for more types of information," the same Google employee wrote today.
