Google’s Webmaster Central is giving you a new way to access the diagnostics and stats for your sites. Rather than log into your Webmaster Tools account, you can add the Webmaster Tools gadget to your iGoogle page and access information from there. You can choose what components to display on your iGoogle page.
Below are details about what components are available and when each was initially launched as part of webmaster tools.
Available Webmaster Tools Components for iGoogle
How to Add Webmaster Tools Information to iGoogle
To add any of these components:
This gadget provides information on all sites in your account (not just the site you navigated to in order to add the gadget). A useful future feature would be the ability to show stats for different sites as different components of the iGoogle page or the ability to choose which site shows as default. Right now, the first site listed in your account appears initially, and you can view information for different sites via a drop-down menu. If an unverified site is the first site in your account (they are ordered alphabetically), then your iGoogle page simply shows a verification message by default.
Google tells me that you must be logged into your iGoogle page using the same account you’ve used to verify your sites in Webmaster Tools in order to see this information. Otherwise, you’ll simply see a link prompting you to verify.
