Have you seen the latest stuff from Google. They have just launched a suite of tools to allow webmasters to see what Google thinks of their websites.
In the latest development you can now see the number of pages crawled, kilobytes downloaded and time spent downloading pages. You can even set your own crawl rate, selected your domain preferences and even encourage your pictures to be indexed more.
It can be quite scary to see how many errors your site makes. But it is definately a good tool to use batter your IT staff. It is really good for ensuring your robots.txt is working correctly and your server status' are functioning.
Housekeeping tool of the year me thinks !
Log into your google account, add your site to your profile, verify and be ready to be scared. For my current project it has opened up a can of worms about maintaining the basics while we do the more adventurous stuff.
Check it out.
