Google has been kind enough to provide webmasters a valuable set of tools to aid us in our SEO (search engine optimization) efforts. Those tools are called appropriately enough “Google Webmaster Tools.”

This set of tools provides us with information about what Google’s crawler sees, statistics, links, diagnostics and a variety of other helpful information. The first section we will address is the Overview section. Below you will find the items addressed on the Overview page:

• Errors for URLs in Sitemaps
• HTTP errors
• Pages Not found
• URLs not followed
• URLs restricted by robots.txt
• URLs timed out
• Unreachable URLs

As you can see this information is valuable to ensure that your website URL’s are being found or restricted, followed, any errors, etc. All of this information in one place makes it easy to check a site and fix any errors that may have been found.
