Also, another new addition to your Google Webmaster Tools is Malware Alerts. I think this is awesome as I have seen some sites that have lost thousands of dollars in revenue from having hackers get inside thier site and try to spread malware. When Googlebot comes to visit your site like you want them to do and gets attacked you will not only be shut down but Google will warn the visitor about it prior to allowing you to enter into the infected site. Of course your not going to and you stop and hit the back button ASAP!
Here is what Google says:
“Before today, you may have been relying on manual testing, our safe browsing API, and malware notifications to determine which pages on your site may be distributing malware. Sometimes finding the malicious code is extremely difficult, even when you do know which pages it was found on. Today we are happy to announce that we’ll be providing snippets of code that exist on some of those pages that we consider to be malicious. We hope this additional information enables you to eliminate the malware on your site very quickly, and reduces the number of iterations many webmasters go through during the review process.”
So run to your Webmaster Tools and check it out.
