Google Reaching Out To Webmasters

I often curse, celebrate, and enjoy Google each day. Being a professional SEO requires a love/hate relationship with the search engine giant. But I really need to applaud the recent attempts of Google to reach out the the webmasters of the universe.

Google analytics is an excellent FREE analytics program and the best FREE analytics to ever come out so far. Google Webmaster Tools is another great toll that offers webmasters a wealth of information on how Google perceives your site and its pages. Previously this information was not directly available to the public and I think that it has done nothing but good for everyone since its launch. There was a while there where it seemed that Google would never reveal such things to webmasters and SEOs. And the Google Website Optimizer is the latest of the bunch.
