Google Upgrades Keywords Report In Webmaster Tools

Nov 11, 2009 at 6:31pm ET by Matt McGee

Google has announced an upgrade to the Keywords report that’s available in Webmaster Tools. The report now features a daily update of the most common keywords that Google found while crawling a web site.

keywords-1

And each keyword is linked to another report that details up to “10 top pages” where the keyword was found.

keywords-2

It’s a nice improvement over the previous Keywords report, but if I’m being picky, I wish it wouldn’t just show one-word keywords. Seems like there would be even more value in surfacing multiple-word combinations here.
