- ekkalvia, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I'm glad they're doing this. It brings much needed transparency. Google is more than a search engine, they *are* the Internet as far as a lot of non-advanced users are concerned, and with that comes responsibility.

- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2This is actually one of the official google blogs..you can find a reference to them at the Google website.

- mikejohnston, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1These pages have existed for a long time within Google. This blog posts is simply centralizing the links.

- Resilient, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Google is teh hawtness! XD
- Grimboy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1No, that's what hippies try and tell you, but it's all a lie made to try and draw attention away from their lack of body hygiene.
- Haplo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1If you have access to your access_log, use: http://johnbokma.com/perl/googlebot-statistics.html
You can see for each page how often Googlebot fetched it, and when. - alienz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1@silver99
Check the date/time on your server. - Haplo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"This is freakin excellent! I never knew you could see crawler errors and what queries leads to my site showing up."
Check your access_log *and* error_log of the webserver you're using.
"Plus, I *really* wanted to get rid of that stupid www. prefix and from what I read this can be done."
Sure it can be done, clear instructions and well written example: http://johnbokma.com/mexit/2004/04/12/rewritingurlsforgoogle.html - dready, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This is freakin excellent! I never knew you could see crawler errors and what queries leads to my site showing up. Plus, I *really* wanted to get rid of that stupid www. prefix and from what I read this can be done.
Apparently, most of these are well known to the SEO guys but I've never paid much attention to them until now (neither did I bother with Sitemaps - now I will). - mdalan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Do Yahoo or MSN provide anything similar? Just curious.
- silver99, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Ok - I don't think it's completely accurate because when I checked one of my sites it said:
'Googlebot has successfully accessed your home page. Last crawl date: Dec 31, 1969'
And it was made a couple years ago. Can you really trust any crawl date they give you if they spew out inaccurate data at times? - sahala, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0That issue has been fixed.

- moosic, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0Is it official google blog? On blogspot? Not on Google servers?
