This is an extremely useful tool that will help you get an ideaof how your site will look in google search engine results. Seehow search-engine friendly your site is, and can the spidercrawl it easily? This will determine whether or not you will getgood rankings.
By using Google Poodle you will avoid making errors that canstop your site from getting a good listing. It will also showwhether or not you have a useless description of your site inthe search engine results.
What Poodle tries to do is duplicate the rules used by majorsearch engines as they spider your site. Of course it can't beexact due to different algorithms used by different engines butit does give you some insight into where you need to make somecorrections.
With over 80% of people coming to your site through searchengines this is something you can not afford to pass up as oneof your most useful tools in search engine optimization.
What Poodle attempts to do is to show you 4 different views ofhow your website is viewed by search engines. The spider viewwill show results that show what you would see in a searchengine if you searched for your site by URL.
Below that there will be a list of crawlable links that thegoogle poodle spider found on the site entered. These links havebeen spidered and it gives you a simulated search engine view.Then if you click on these links you will crawl that site. Youwill not go to it.
Beneath that you will see the Poodle Diagnostic's view. When youclick the Diagnostics view link, there will appear a color codedrepresentation of what the search spider sees at that URL. Thecolors separate the various elements that are important tosearch engines and will give you an idea of where you can makesome changes.
Next you will see and can click on the source code view and seea color coded representation of your HTML code of your URL. Thisis usually used to de-bug a site when it does not show as itshould in the other views.
If when using Google Poodle you run into error problems this isalso an indication that the googlebot will also encounter aproblem and your site will not get indexed properly. For acomplete list of google tools to help you please visit mywebsite at:
