Hi,
What's the best/easiest way for a client to grant access to his Google Webmaster Tools to me?
Thanks! Best...Michael

Egol: I'm not 100% sure on that, but my suspicion is that its only for Webmasters tools, not for analytics or adwords or the like.
M: My apologies, the dashboard is actually the site page... you need to home page. When you're logged in, click the "Google WMT" logo on the top and it will take you to the home page that lists all your domains. Its on that screen.

Hi Ryan,
Thanks for the info. Sorry to be super dense, but as I look at my own Webmaster Tools Dashboard, I don't see a thing that says "Manage."
On the right side I see "Crawl Errors," Keywords," and "Site Maps." Are we tallking about two different pages perhaps?
Thanks...Michael

Ryan,
Do you know if that grants access only to WMT or does that give the new owner an ability to sniff other parts of the google account?
Thanks!

From their dashboard there is a link on the right hand side of every domain that reads "Manage". Click that and select Add or Remove Owners. And on the next page at the bottom click Add Owners, then add your google account email.

Hi Michael,
The easiest way is to get his/her username and password...
Failing that, and assuming you have FTP access, just add the site to your own Webmaster Tools account and go through the verification process - You can verify one site in multiple webmaster tools accounts with no negative impact.

Shortening URL's
Hello again Mozzers, I am debating what could be a fairly drastic change to the company website and I would appreciate your thoughts. The URL structure is currently as follows Product Pages
Technical SEO | | ATP
www.url.co.uk/product.html Category Pages
www.url.co.uk/products/category/subcategory.html I am debating removing the /products/ section as i feel it doesn't really add much and lengthens the url with a pointless word. This does mean however redirecting about 50-60 pages on the website, is this worth it? Would it do more damage than good? Am i just being a bit OCD and it wont really have an impact? As always, thanks for the input0 -
Soft 404's on a 301 Redirect...Why?
So we launched a site about a month ago. Our old site had an extensive library of health content that went away with the relaunch. We redirected this entire section of the site to the new education materials, but we've yet to see this reflected in the index or in GWT. In fact, we're getting close to 500 soft 404's in GWT. Our development team confirmed for me that the 301 redirect is configured correctly. Is it just a waiting game at this point or is there something I might be missing? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Question on Google's Site: Search
A client currently has two domains with the same content on each. When I pull up a Cached version of the site, I noticed that it has a Cache of the correct page on it. However, when I do a site: in Google, I am seeing the domain that we don't want Google indexing. Is this a problem? There is no canonical tag and I'm not sure how Google knows to cache the correct website but it does. I'm assuming they have this set in webmaster tools? Any help is much appreciated! Thanks!

It's imposible to keep track of rankings?
Hello, here something interesting I'm Using Rank Tracker from SEOMOZ And from the link-assistant's Rank Tracker as Well... I need to track Google.com and Google.co.ve (venezuela) so I did... i got my keyword an here are my results. 1 Keyword A at google.com (united states) Rank Tracker SEOMOZ = pos 6 Rank Tracker OTHER = pos 6 Manual Query on google.com = 9 (I used the exact url seomoz tells me its using) 2 Keyword A at Google.co.ve Rank Tracker SEOMOZ = pos 8 Rank Tracker OTHER = pos 7 Manual query on google.co.ve = pos 8 So.... Why it's that?, so far I think that google.com for me down here (it actually says "Español") it's a different index? for latinamerica? only spanish pages? maybe it's because there's a couple of minutes between looking with one tool and the other... any help, would be great...

Google has not indexed my site in over 4 weeks, what's the problem?
We recently put in permanent redirects to our new url, but Google seems to not want to index the new url. There was no problems with the old url and the new url is brand new so should have no 'black marks' against it. We have done everything we can think off in terms of submitting site maps, telling google our url has changed in webmaster tools, mentioning the new url on social sites etc...but still nothing. It has been over 4 weeks now since we set up the redirects to the url, any ideas why Google seems to be choosing not to index it? Thanks
