New Google Webmaster Tools Labs Features

google_logo_smallGoogle launched a new Labs section of Webmaster Tools today, containing two features. The first is called Fetch as Googlebot, which shows you the page that Google gets when you enter a URL from your website. Quite handy to see what Googlebot sees, particularly HTTP headers. Here’s a screenshot of the tool showing the 301 permanent redirect from the old holding page to my new homepage on the Keyword Examiner site:

The other tool reports any Malware found on your site, but I’m happy to report I can’t give you a screenshot from one of my sites for that! 😉
