Google wtf 3: Webmastertools

by

Why would Google allow me to add other peoples sites to my Webmastertools Dashboard and even thou I haven’t verified that I own or have access to that site they started sending me messages in my message center, It would have been nice if they had sent me a message about the penalties that my blog had picked up last week ! ;)

    Hi Dave, these notifications are actually public information, so while it’s strange that you’re seeing them (I passed this along to the team to have them take a look at it), it’s not really anything completely private. There’s usually a link to ChillingEffects.org in the message as well as on all search results pages where those URLs would otherwise appear, so that anyone can look these requests up.

    Also useful – if you have a site duplicating yours it will feature the same WMT meta tag (if you use that) which you are verified for and can then remove from Google’s index if required.
