Google introduces Index tool to help webmasters


Google has recently introduced a tool in Google Webmaster that will help website owners and organization to figure out the success and issues with the indexing of their web pages at any given time.
ZDNet explains that earlier website owner could only see the indexing status of their web pages by manually checking each and every page and that was cumbersome for webmasters having hundreds and thousands of pages.

Now, Google is showing everything in shape of graphs. It is much easier now to find out the total number of pages that have been crawled by the search engine, indexed by it as well as information about those which have not been indexed.  A webmaster can now easily find out as to what may have gone wrong with the non-indexed pages that will help them fix the problem. The advance settings in the webmaster tool also give information about the duplicate URLs  which are normally ignored by the search engine.
