Google Delivers Message Center To Webmasters

Improved communications with webmasters should take place now that Google has opened its newest feature.

Google Webmaster Central offers webmasters tools that help them get their sites indexed properly, and view statistics and diagnostics related to that indexing.

Webmasters wanted clearer, timelier communication from Google, especially if there were problems with their sites that endangered their position in Google’s rankings. Many webmasters expressed frustrations when their websites dropped out of the SERPs, sometimes with no idea why it happened.

Maile Ohye said on the Google Webmaster Central blog the first messages distributed through the new Message Center will focus on quality issues. Over time, they will expand the types of messages communicated over this channel.

Google has started a small rollout of Message Center, with the intent of expanding it over time. All the languages supported now by Webmaster Central will have similar support in Message Center.
