I was just going to say that…
It had occurred to me over the past few months just how helpful Google are as far as their supportive tools for Webmasters go. With a webmaster account, there are a number of useful applications provided free of charge by Google which not only allow you to see if your site is being indexed by Google, but a Google Analytics account provides a breathtaking array of site statistics, a Google Sitemap provides the necessary info to Google to ensure your entire site is being indexed correctly and then there are the other useful bits & pieces like Google Maps which add a touch of polish and professionalism to any site. We at Propeller have been offering these tools to our clients for some time now and I think its time Google gets some credit for this - as far as I’m aware, other search companies provide little in this way. Now of course I understand that Google are not providing these tools with a purely benevolent motivation, I’m sure they gain from the huge statistical information mined by the integration of Google Analytics into so many sites and I’m sure that people seeing, using and clicking over from Google Map helps them out too but they are providing them, so you can’t knock em for that. That said, someone already said it…
