GoDaddy Now Integrating with Google Webmaster Tools
November 13th, 2007
I’ve been singing the praises of GoDaddy for a few weeks now, whenever I talk about internet domain registration or any of the other services GoDaddy offers. They are the #1 internet domain registrar, and they have always taken great care of me and filled my needs. It looks like their dominance in the domain registration field, along with the other tools they have to offer user, created quite a bit of appeal to Google.
According to Mashable, GoDaddy has signed up as a pilot partner with Google to combine their popular sitemap editor with Google Webmaster Tools:
It will offer info on site traffic, so they can see what can be improved in order to get more traffic to their sites. The goal is to lower the bar, so less technical knowledge is needed for implementing these tools on their sites. GoDaddy users will now have their sitemaps submitted to Google automatically, so updates can be reflected sooner in Google’s’ index.
With GoDaddy housing millions upon millions of domain names and websites, its sheer wealth was a prime reason for Google to target the hosting company for the pilot roll-out of this new integration. It means more business for Google, and more options extended to the end customers of GoDaddy’s service.
As a GoDaddy user, I’m excited to see this partnership and what it holds for the future. It will save me time if I can control even more from GoDaddy directly.











This a great addition to GoDaddy! It makes like easier for those managing multiple domains doesn’it it!
I used to use GoDaddy, but was attracted by two things they didn’t offer at the time by another registrar, 1and1.com. They offer free privacy registration and cheaper registration than GoDaddy.
I am all for lowering the bar so that “less technical knowledge is needed for implementing these tools on their sites”. I am cheered by this because of the paucity of my own technical knowledge
There have been discussing around Godady for theirs domain care. I mean if you do not want to show your who is information (your phone, address) in your domain name, and if it is registered to GoDaddy, I can easily complain about you. Be sure that godady will warn you to fix these information and if not (etc. http://www.familyalbum.com) they will take your domain name away from you.
There is even a website running out there under http://www.nodady.com (:
It has never made sense to me why we have to pay extra for our privacy.
Mehmet – Wow, I hadn’t thought of that! Thanks for sharing.
