Hi,
What's the best/easiest way for a client to grant access to his Google Webmaster Tools to me?
Thanks! Best...Michael

Egol: I'm not 100% sure on that, but my suspicion is that its only for Webmasters tools, not for analytics or adwords or the like.
M: My apologies, the dashboard is actually the site page... you need to home page. When you're logged in, click the "Google WMT" logo on the top and it will take you to the home page that lists all your domains. Its on that screen.

Hi Ryan,
Thanks for the info. Sorry to be super dense, but as I look at my own Webmaster Tools Dashboard, I don't see a thing that says "Manage."
On the right side I see "Crawl Errors," Keywords," and "Site Maps." Are we tallking about two different pages perhaps?
Thanks...Michael

Ryan,
Do you know if that grants access only to WMT or does that give the new owner an ability to sniff other parts of the google account?
Thanks!

From their dashboard there is a link on the right hand side of every domain that reads "Manage". Click that and select Add or Remove Owners. And on the next page at the bottom click Add Owners, then add your google account email.

Hi Michael,
The easiest way is to get his/her username and password...
Failing that, and assuming you have FTP access, just add the site to your own Webmaster Tools account and go through the verification process - You can verify one site in multiple webmaster tools accounts with no negative impact.

When should we use Remove URLs feature on Google Webmasters Tool?
Hi there, I run an ecommerce website on Magento. We are no longer using a category. It actually does not appear on the menu: mydomain.com/category.html If this is the case, do you recommend to remove it through the Removal URL feature on GWT? I don't want this to affect the juice of other links of the site such as: mydomain.com/product.html Thanks very much. Regards

Wordpress New Category URL's
Were just about to redesign our site and put all the blogs over to the new site. Previously most blogs have been added to the uncategorised section of the blog and I'm now weighing up the benefit of sifting through all the blogs and changing them to relevant categories. From an SEO perspective would it be better to Leave them in their current category but start afresh with all new blogs by adding them to relevant categories? Work out which blogs should go in which new category and 301 all previous URL's to the new one. Obviously number one will take a lot more time than number two.

What can I do if Google Webmaster Tools doesn't recognize the robots.txt file?
I'm working on a recently hacked site for a client and and in trying to identify how exactly the hack is running I need to use the fetch as Google bot feature in GWT. I'd love to use this but it thinks the robots.txt is blocking it's acces but the only thing in the robots.txt file is a link to the sitemap. Unde the Blocked URLs section of the GWT it shows that the robots.txt was last downloaded yesterday but it's incorrect information. Is there a way to force Google to look again?

For Google + purposes, should the author's name appear in the Meta description or title tag of my web site just as you would your key search phrase?
Relative to Cyrus Shepard's article on January 4th regarding Google's Superior SEO strategy, if I'm the primary author of all blog articles and web site content, and I have a link showing authorship going back to Google Plus, is a site wide link from the home page enough or should that show up on all blog posts etc and editorial comment pages etc? Conversely, should the author's name appear in the Meta description or title tag of my web site just as you would your key search phrase since Google appears to be trying to make a solid connection with my name, and all content?

Google shows the wrong domain for client's homepage
Whenever the homepage of my client's homepage appears in Google results, the search engine is not showing our URL as our domain, but instead a partner domain that is linking to us. (The correct title and meta description of our homepage is showing.) I believe this is caused by the partner website (with a much higher pank rank) linking to our homepage from their footer to a URL with it's own domain that 302 redirects to our homepage. Example: Link: http://www.partnerwebsite.com/?ad2203 302 redirects to: http://www.clientwebsite.com/?moreadtracking The simple fix would be for the client to ask for removal of the 302 hijacking link - but they are uncomfortable with this request since they had requested it prior, and their relationship is not the best. Is there any other way to fix this?
