What Is Google Poodle & How It Will Help You
This is an extremely useful tool that will help you get an idea
of how your site will look in google search engine results. See
how search-engine friendly your site is, and can the spider
crawl it easily? This will determine whether or not you will get
good rankings.
By using Google Poodle you will avoid making errors that can
stop your site from getting a good listing. It will also show
whether or not you have a useless description of your site in
the search engine results.
What Poodle tries to do is duplicate the rules used by major
search engines as they spider your site. Of course it can't be
exact due to different algorithms used by different engines but
it does give you some insight into where you need to make some
corrections.
With over 80% of people coming to your site through search
engines this is something you can not afford to pass up as one
of your most useful tools in search engine optimization.
What Poodle attempts to do is to show you 4 different views of
how your website is viewed by search engines. The spider view
will show results that show what you would see in a search
engine if you searched for your site by URL.
Below that there will be a list of crawlable links that the
google poodle spider found on the site entered. These links have
been spidered and it gives you a simulated search engine view.
Then if you click on these links you will crawl that site. You
will not go to it.
Beneath that you will see the Poodle Diagnostic's view. When you
click the Diagnostics view link, there will appear a color coded
representation of what the search spider sees at that URL. The
colors separate the various elements that are important to
search engines and will give you an idea of where you can make
some changes.
Next you will see and can click on the source code view and see
a color coded representation of your HTML code of your URL. This
is usually used to de-bug a site when it does not show as it
should in the other views.
If when using Google Poodle you run into error problems this is
also an indication that the googlebot will also encounter a
problem and your site will not get indexed properly. For a
