February 23rd, 2009

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Web hosting plans include Web crawl, mobile crawl and content analysis capabilities to make sites more Google friendly.

OVERLAND PARK, KS - February 23, 2009 - Aplus.net, a leading Web hosting company and Internet solutions provider, now features direct access to Google Webmaster Tools on all Aplus.net web hosting plans. Detailed reports, indexing tools, search queries and analysis are among the free resources available through the Aplus.net Control Panel, designed to improve a website’s visibility in Google search results.

Google Webmaster Tools offers  website owners a quick snapshot of how ‘Googlebot’ views their sites to enhance search engine visibility and drive traffic. This comprehensive toolbox lets users diagnose errors, content issues and other problems that could impact rankings in Google search queries. Users can access data on internal and external site links. The web interface also encourages users to share XML sitemaps, URLs and other information to further improve how Google crawls and indexes sites.

“Since its inception, this service has been highly regarded by webmasters ­– and now we’re making it easy for every one of our customers to continually optimize their search engine results as well,” says Dennis Kittrell, Senior Product Manager at Aplus.net. “By adding it to the Aplus.net Control Panel, users are just a click away from actively understanding how Google sees and analyzes their sites. It’s a powerful and proven tool.”

Webmasters can generate regular, automated reports using Google Webmaster Tools:

• Crawl Info: to ensure Googlebot is able to access a site, view URLs Google has had trouble crawling and address any page indexing problems
• Indexing Stats: to determine how a site is indexed and which pages are currently included
• Links Data: to view thousands of internal and external links to site pages as located by Google
• Top Queries: to identify top queries driving site traffic, particularly where the site is included in top search results
• Page Analysis: to view a site’s top content and highlight keywords used by other sites for linking

Google Webmaster Tools is just one of the many marketing tools included with Aplus.net Personal, Business, Professional and eCommerce Web Hosting plans. Others include Search Engine Optimization, Keyword Rankings, Website Statistics, Google AdSense, and more.
