Fresh Paint For Google Webmaster Tools

These days, using Webmaster Tools provided by Google has become second nature for many webmasters out there. Despite the popularity though, some folks out there have been pretty vocal about wanting to see “more” in the way of control and features.

Well it seems that Google has heard you and is making good with a big of a revamping of sorts. Today Google Webmaster Tools has seen a new GUI, some new options and best of all, the ability to do a domain change of address.

Overall, the changes made seem to be positive in nature. And perhaps most importantly, some criticism early on was addressed with the changes made to the Webmaster Tools as well. The only downside that I have seen is there are still reports of problems with the sitemaps. Nothing I have experiences personally, but the comments made in the above link seem to indicate that this is still presenting problems.
