Google Adsense has a new feature which I really like because I have some sites that wil not show all of the pages which are also optimized for search engines etc. It’s called Site Access and is in Adsense options tab. You may add as many pages as you want/need. You add the url of the page or directory of your site that needs login to be seen then choose the protection method which may be POST GET or .htaccess protected directory. Then you provide user and password and sometimes other variables that your site needs to accept the login. Finally you have to confirm that the site you’re submitting is your like it’s done in Google Webmaster Tools.

I’ve just found today that one of the referring sites the users are coming from is called spamteam.google.com and the whole url was(some info removed with stars): http://spamteam.google.com/paid-links/admin.php?caseid=*********?status=confirm . I’ve tried to go to this url and then the subdomain url only but nothing happened. It seems someone is joking with me or this address is an intranet address in Google and one of its employees is going to drop my site because of paid links. But there are no paid links on my site mostly because I’m tired of affiliate marketing and this is a personal site not a money machine, considering the low traffic too. Hope the good people will understand that. Thanks!

Someone with the same problem like me?

I’ve found today when browsing through the Google’s webmaster tools that some of the tools look different. For example The top queries tool (Statistics->Top search queries) hides the time period that we used to see and shows something like a select/dropdown menu to choose from. When you click on that menu the time menu with 1 week, 2 weeks etc. options shows again. You also have two other menus: Search type - where you can choose web search, mobile search or all searches and the other menu: Location - this is really interesting because it shows which search comes from which country.

The other difference today in the webmaster tools is the Sitelinks oiption (Links->Sitelinks). It shows an example picture of what the siteliks are on the SERPS.

And one tool I’m not so sure it’s new. This is the Generate robots.txt tool (Tools->Generate robots.txt) . It allows you to generate a good working robots.txt file with blocking of some search engines bots and allowing others.I wish there to be more search engine user agents in the drop down menu, like MSN, Yahoo, Ask, Alexa etc.  not only the Google ones.

That’s all I can see different now. If something come up I’ll notify you asap!
