Using Google Web Master Tools for Content Analysis

Posted by: dragonblogger  //  Category: blogging

In spending the last several weeks leveraging and learning Google Web Master Tools, I have found and delved quite deeper into the “Content Analysis” section of Web Master Tools. This is under the “Diagnostics” section of Web Master Tools.

When clicking on Content Analysis you will be presented with a list of Meta Description Issues and Title Tag Issues. Listed will be the number of pages listed by Google as not being optimized or having most efficiency.

Here is the summary list:

Now, I decided to investigate the Short Meta Descriptions which for my Dragonblogger site had 13 listed. In clicking on the 13, I am now taken to each page that Google thinks does not have long enough Meta Description as seen here:

Now I can go in an edit each one of these posts and increase the meta description length to where it falls in the optimum range.

Using this tool you can make sure that all of your posts are optimized, if you start seeing many errors you may find you are making a pattern mistake that may cost your site a little bit. I would make sure you keep your errors to less than 10% of your total site POSTS. If you have 150 posts, and you have 60 pages with issues, you know you have a problem with how you are doing titles, tags and/or descriptions.

Hope this information helps my fellow bloggers.
