Google Webmaster Tools

Webmaster Tools

 

Out of the many SEO tools, Google Webmaster Tools is one of the most useful. This is a very useful tool set that allows you to communicate with Google and adjust many aspects of how Google sees your site, such as list the external and internal links to your site, adjust the crawl rate at which Google bot indexes your site. Here in this blog i am going to show you how to crawl, catch and Indexing the blog and post you have created. I have already created posted 2 other posts on History and Evolution of SEO and On Page Optimization. Check them out if you have any doubts about SEO or On page optimization.

 

Now for fetching your blog or site the steps you follow are.

1) First you should go to the webmaster search console page (google.com/webmaster/tools/home)

2) Copy the main URL of your website or blog and paste it in the search console next to "ADD A PROPERTY". One important thing to remember here is to make our post to ."com" version if it is in ".in" version before you copy the URL. this is done by adding ".com/ncr" to the ".in" section of URL and clicking enter.

3) Then from the next option select “HTML tag”.

By doing this a Meta tag box will appear.

4) Copy this Meta description.

5) Go the blogger section of our blog. And select “Template”. Then select “Edit HTML”.

6) Before the closing “head” section of the HTML code  paste this Meta Description.

7) Save Template.

8) Then go the search to the search console Click “Verify” after you are given a green tick.

9) Select “Continue”.

10) In the Dashboard of the search console select “crawl” option.

11) Then select “Fetch as Google” and wait for the “Fetch” option to load.

12) Select “Fetch” option

13) Then select “Request Indexing”. Select “Crawl only this URL” option.

14) Click “I am not a robot”. Then select Go.

The above was to Fetch our blog. To Fetch our post we newly created in our blog, we should do the following steps.

1) Click on our Post description or H1

One important thing to remember here is to make our post to ."com" version if it is in ".in" version before you copy the URL. this is done by adding ".com/ncr" to the ".in" section of URL and clicking enter.

2) Go to Webmaster Search console. Click on the blog we fetched to go to the dashboard section of the console.

3) Because  here we are only fetching our post, we need to copy the remaining portion of the URL. That is we need  copy the section after the ".com/". This is because we already fetched our blog first. This is only a new post.

4) Select "Crawl" .Then "Fetch as Google".

5) Paste the URL of the post. And select "Fetch".

6) After Fetching is done Select "Request Indexing".

7) Then in the next box that appears after you request for indexing select the option "URL and its Direct Links". Then select "I am not a robot" and select Go.

By doing this we complete the Fetching of our Blog. Fetching is the last Step we use after publishing a blog, this is done to crawl, catch and index our blog. If you guys have any doubts regarding this you can refer my previous post which i have gave links to, in the starting of this post.
