I recently did a post on the lisamoon SQL injection attack and one of the cool things about it was that google detected the attack, showed where it was living on the domain and processed the reconsideration request very promptly

When you enter into Google Webmaster Tools and they have detected a malicious script or exploit on your domain they will show you a red alert warning you of the infection

After you have gone and and cleaned everything up and hopefully closed any of the SQL injection holes their malicious hacker crawler found then you can tell Google to stop showing that giant red warning when people are going to pages that were infected
The alert seems to be generated automatically so im pretty sure it reruns the automated scan that detected the problem in the first place. But based on the response time Im gonna say there is no human verification of the removal of the malicious code.

Some things to note while you working on getting it clean if that the big red warnings that try to send users away are created at a url or folder level so by renaming files you can make the warning go away even before Googles security bot has checked for infection again

The easiest way to do the renaming would probably be using the .htaccess file and rewriting the url to a new name and adding a canonical tag to the page

So now they have a much better UI in WMT that shows you all kinds of cool things and how your ranking in the all important SERP... i really like the improvement and the detailed CTR has given me an idea... some opt in anonymous gathering of SERP position info... there hasn't been much data lately that can show what average CTR for each position... by allowing SEO Site Tools users to allow cleaned position and CTR information to be sent back to my server i can compute an updated and true CTR for the average SERP. now im off to get married next week but as soon as i get back i see some code to do something along those lines...

so if you haven't see it yet you can scurry over to my SEO and Webmaster link dump and check out your new query data for yourself... im going to try to start posting more often even if its just these small little updates but ill get some nice meaty ones in there too stay tuned and thats for reading...

Update II

we've added even more features to enhance SERPs read about the update with things like personal search status and Insights for search integrated into Webmaster Tools and SERPs of the major 3 search engines

Update

Well thats funny... @merrillg pointed out this is the data from the anchor text tab in the links section... makes sense its there considering it is anchor text but it shows in the keywords feed and not the keywords section which is where i got confused... I was wrong about it not being published anywhere else but this data is still pretty important... I cant believe I didn't notice that tab before... I guess I was distracted by the link data... sorry :(

Original

The keyword data that Google Webmaster Tools shows you is only part of the data that exists for your site... its up to 200 internal keywords, this comes from your pages and you can manipulate it based on the keywords you use in your content. But thats not whole story, what about that all important anchor text? Now of course you could go look at Open Site Explorer but wouldn't it be great to see what Google sees as your anchor text? I found the other keywords, the external keyword data hiding in a little known feed in webmaster tools... now aside from this guy who sounds a little like a consparicy nut and a short mention in the feed documentation nobody is talking about this data... Unfortunately i couldn't get pass through authentication so you have to put in your password but thanks to my new extension SEO Site Tools for Google Chrome you can navigate this data all from the safety of your favorite browser :)

heres how easy it is to get the data... open the tool from the Page Terms / Tools section

put in your login and it will present you a list of sites associated with that email addresses Google Webmaster Tools... choose one and you will see something like this
it will show you up to 100 external keywords... but what is this data that is published nowhere else any why is it so valuable? well lets take a look at bit of the list from my blog...

this feed is from my technology blog

some code for asp and php

you know how sometimes when you do a search and look at Google's cache and see that "These terms only appear in links pointing to this page" thats what this keyword data is... its the external keywords Google has associated with your site... when I searched for some of the unique ones like "this feed is from my technology blog"
my site was the first result... i append that text with a link back to my site at the end of my rss feed so if someone republishes my content i can get credit for creating it... so the scrapers are sending that anchor text back to my site and whats even more interesting is that some of these keywords are from links that are no-followed so it might be that those links while not passing juice are passing something possibly even more valuable... their anchor text

the tool is still super beta and has some errors so please send me feedback to the email provided in the tool with any ideas/thoughts you may have about this very interesting data feed thats hiding in the webmaster tools data feed

again you need SEO Site Tools to get to this data and aside from doing some HTTP Gets yourself i know of no other tool that shows users this data

Update

i found some screen shots of the old tool on SearchEngineLand before it was removed

UPDATE:

The dashboard below is great but if your trying to do some on-page analysis you need a good SEO Toolbar like my newly released SEO Site Tools to help you with your work... and if you interested in your external anchor text you should defiantly run on over are read about the keyword data I found in Webmaster Tools that is published nowhere else...

i find myself constantly wanting to have one place as a jumping point for me to review all my website stuff and the way chrome does bookmarks makes it where clicking to this post is actually faster(at least for me). but i figure this is one place to start from then i don't have to go looking through all the bookmarks. ill add more items here as i find more tools that i find useful for SEOs and Webmasters


SEO Site Tools is my Google Chrome Extension with over 21,000 users
