Google Webmaster Tools - now offering ranking data

[chewy]

Wow - either I've been living under a rock or suddenly they turned on some features in GWMT that measures ranking.

And it is looking pretty accurate. (how does your data compare? - make sure you use the filters!)

If this remains stable, this might mean I don't have to mess with other ranking analysis tools (except of course for competitive purposes).

I knew it was a good idea - now it is in place - and thanks to Tedster it seems to pass muster - or at least it did back about a year ago when it first seems to have showed up.

also - it seems that GA and GWMT are being linked in increasing ways.

anything else I've missed?

What do you mean specifically by "ranking data" and where are you seeing it?

[chewy]

GWMT will show where your keyword ranks.

And it seems reasonably accurate for ranking data.

GWMT >> Your Site on the Web >> Search Queries

and it looks like it was turned on for my accounts around April 30 of this year.

I'm pretty sure "average position" has been a feature for several months now. This post is from back in early May:

Ayup.

Tedster nailed it back then too - I missed it until now.

No biggie.

I'm just amazed that I missed it - and how cool it is.
