Googlebot insight

The Google Webmaster Tools have been enhanced with some great new features. You can now see graphs of Googlebots activity on your website. The graphs show you how many pages the bot read and how many kilobytes of data it downloaded from your site and the average time it took the bot to read the site.

If you see that the bot is using too much of your bandwidth, you can tell it to slow down on your site. If you want more visits from the Googlebot, simply tell it to crawl faster…

Another nice addition is the link counter on the Google Sitemap. For each sitemap you submit you can see how many links the map contains. If you are creating the sitemaps on autopilot, this is a nice feature to check if big G has received what you expected it to receive.
