Should I or do I need to use webmaster tool? I want to make sure if someone is looking up about anything that I post they can find it on Google. I read some the forum question that asked about Google Keyword and that seems helpful but I didn't know if I should use Webmaster tool or if I needed to you if Hubpages already did that for you. I check out the help area and couldn't find anything specifically addressing my question and I browsed a couple pages of this forum and didn't find anything so I decided to ask. So should I verify my page with Google webmaster and should I do it with every page/hub that I write? Thanks!
It's worthwhile if you have your own website, but you can't verify your Hubs because you can't paste in the code - so you can't use Google Webmaster tools with HubPages.
Hub pages do track broken links and you can check which keywords you are ranking for using Google Analytics.
I guess what you mean by "I want to make sure if someone is looking up about anything that I post they can find it on Google" is that your hubs are visible in search engines. Every hub gets indexed in Google within week , so if you are going to use web master tools only to find out whether you hub is indexed in search engines then I guess it is not worth it.
Anyway you need to add a meta tag to your website to verify the site , I don't know whether you can do that in hub pages
yeah that is what I thought. I just wanted to make sure. Lol. Thanks for the info.

How can I verify a Hub on Google Webmaster Tools?I know how you normally verify it through uploading HTML etc. However with Hubpages you cannot upload HTML or use you Google Analytics Code because they look at the index of the site. Any suggestions?

Since I finished the apprenticeship, and after umpteen updates and changes made on HP, my traffic has never picked up. I can't remember the last time I saw any more than 40 views a day. My average at the moment is more like 30. The articles I worked long and hard to produce, sit there doing nothing...
