Web Tools

Learned about webmaster tools this evening. I was able to add the Google tracking tools to all the store websites, including this blog. Unfortunately I wasn't as successful when it came to Yahoo and Bing. Yahoo wouldn't verify any of the sites and the directions were less than helpful. I will have to work on verifying the sites with Yahoo again since I want to be able to attract as much business to the sites as possible. Bing was even less clear on how to verify site ownership than Yahoo. I was able to find some blogged information about the importance of site verification, but I couldn't find the links to do so.

Next step is to start tracking the sites on Google and contact GoDaddy to find out why I am unable to verify site ownership with Yahoo and Bing. I also need to get some help with this site as well. Both search engines stated that this wasn't even a valid site or location. I know there are ways to track it since I was able to add the meta tags with the Google tools.

Once I am able to track with all 3 major search engines I am going to rework the sites tags to draw more attention. The last time I worked with SEO was about a year ago and since then I have developed a few blogs and have learned more about tags. Having no formal training I feel that I have learned a lot about traffic management, but still have a ways to go before I can consider myself proficient. Part of the complication comes with learning the nuances of each site and where to place the actual code. I am ready to revisit the multiple sites and further build on the SEO already in place on each of the site directories.
