New Yandex.Webmaster

Today at the Fourth Webmasters , Yandex representatives told the new Yandex.Webmaster - it is already available in beta status. What is interesting is the long-awaited update?

Following Google, Yandex begins to take into account the convenience of viewing the site on mobile devices. This will directly affect the position of the site in the search results. It will start working not today and not tomorrow, but in a few months, and only in the issue from mobile devices. Sites adapted for viewing from mobile phones will be labeled "mobile version". In this regard, the new webmaster has a site checking tool - “Checking mobile pages”.

Now it is far from the first time to receive a verification report - the service is in beta, and the burden appears to be very high so far. You can check only the site that is registered with the webmaster, in contrast to a similar Google service . But the better “check” from Yandex is that it gives information about the problems and the conditions fulfilled. In Google, you only get the answer, whether your page is optimized or not, and in Yandex it will be a list of completed and unfulfilled items. Actually it is very cool. Personally, I have been waiting for a service similar to Google PageSpeed ​​Insights for a long time, only from Yandex. Hopefully soon something like that will be rolled out.

What are other news? The page with the sanctions.



This is a fairly relevant page, in the light of recent events with Minusinsk and others. On this page you can find out about the presence of manually applied measures for various violations - reoptimization, purchase links, hidden text, and so on. Also promise the function of sending the site for review, after the elimination of all violations - no more than once a month.

I really liked the site diagnostics page. In general, the interface of the new webmaster has become much nicer and more convenient, although a dark background is not for the amateur.



As for the "problems of the site" - an hour ago, errors were found in my robots.txt, but now they are gone. We'll write this down to the fact that the service is in beta. Well, I would like some error detailing - if there are no meta tags on some pages, then at least I want to see a list of pages.

There is also a server response checking service - you can see how different Yandex robots see the page. The function is not new, but now it is easy to find, and now there is code highlighting in the “content of the page”. Trifle, but nice



What are the flaws? The new webmaster does not yet see the uploaded sitemap.xml file, assuring me that I have zero incoming links, the list of search queries does not match the list in the old webmaster.

In general, the new webmaster left a pleasant impression, unlike Yandex.Metrica - it was quite difficult to get used to its new interface, and all the time I wanted to switch to the old mode. A webmaster on the contrary - I want to quickly see him instead of the outdated version.

How do you like the new service?
