New Google Sitemaps Statistics

• Posted by B Jones on November 18th, 2005 - Comment on this Post »

I just added a sitemaps account for seologs.com. I’m not actually using the sitemaps feature, but I am using the recently added statistics part. It’s really easy to set it up. Just sign up for a Google sitemaps account, and upload a special file that will verify that you are the site owner.

Once I got everything set up (about 3 minutes), I clicked on the view stats link. From there It was straight to the query (keyword) stats. The keywords shown for my site are, to say the least, a little bit weak, but hopefully that will change soon.

Top search queries
1. seologs
2. check pr on 48 datacenters
3. backlinks analyzer
4. seologs
5. fake pagerank

Top search query clicks
1. seologs

* Top search queries lists the top five queries that return results from your site.

* Top search query clicks lists the top five queries that refered traffic to your site. (meaning someone actually clicked on the link and went to your site.)

Next there is the Crawl stats, which shows how much of a site has been crawled, as opposed to blocked by robots.txt, un reachable, timed out, or any other reason. This section also shows the level of distribution of the sites Pagerank as low, medium, high, or not yet assigned.

The Page analysis shows what type of pages googlebot sees when it visits a site, such as text/html or application/octet-stream. It also shows the encoding of the page, for example, ISO-8859-1 (Latin-1).

The Index stats just lists all the special queries you can do in Google search, to find information about your site.

site:www.seologs.com = Indexed pages in your site
allinurl:www.seologs.com = Pages that refer to your site’s URL
link:www.seologs.com = Pages that link to your site
cache:www.seologs.com = The current cache of your site
info:www.seologs.com = Information Google has about your site
related:www.seologs.com = Pages that are similar to your site

Finally, there is the Errors section. I wont go into that much. Ill just say that you can get stats on what pages caused HTTP errors, Unreachable URLs, URLs restricted by robots.txt, URLs not followed, and URLs timed out errors.
