Google Webmaster Tools helps you notify Google of changes on your website and change how your site appears in the search index, learn about how Google views your site, and learn about and fix problems with your site.

Before we begin, you’ll need to create a google xml sitemap for your WordPress website.

1. Log in to your google account at https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/
2. Click on the Add a Site button.
3. Enter the URL of a site you’d like to manage. Enter it how it appears in Worpress. For example: enter SmallBusinessWebsites.tv or www.SmallBusinessWebsites.tv depending on your preference and how you have configured it, but be consistent.
4. Select link to your Google Analytics Account (You can also add a meta line to your theme’s header.php file for verification or upload a verification file by FTP).
5. Click on the Verify Now button.

1. From the Webmaster Tools Dashboard, click on the Submit a Sitemap link
2. Click on the Submit a Sitemap button
3. Type sitemap.xml in the field and click on the Submit Sitemap button.

You can back later to see the information that Google has gathered about your site.

1. From your WordPress Dashboard, click on Plugins | Add New
2. Search for google xml sitemap
3. Install and activate the Google XML Sitemaps plugin

1. Click on Settings | XML-Sitemap
2. Leave the default settings (or tweak the settings to your liking), and click on the Update Settings button.
3. Go to the top of the page and click on the Click here to build it now link.

Add sitemap.xml to the end of your website address to view your sitemap.

1. Log in at http://www.google.com/analytics/.
2. Click on Add new account
3. Click no the Sign Up button

Fill out the New Account Signup form and click on the Continue button

Enter your Name and Country information and click on the Continue button.

Agree to the terms and conditions and click on the Create New Account button.

Select the code from <script to </script> with your mouse button. You can also do this by clicking once in code box and using the keystroke combination CTRL-C. Click on the Save and Finish button.

Most premium themes contain a box where you can paste your code. This is very convenient because you don’t have to make changes to your theme’s files. Consult your theme’s documentation to find the area, click inside the box, and Edit | Paste the code (can also use the keystroke combination CTRL-V).

If your theme doesn’t contain an area to add your tracking code, you’ll have to edit the theme’s Footer file. From your WordPress dashboard, click on Appearance | Editor.

Some code will appear in the text box in the center of the screen, but that’s not the file we want. Click on Footer (footer.php) from the file listing on the right hand side. The Footer code will be loaded into the center box. Scroll down to the very bottom of the file.

Important: Editing your theme files can break your theme and keep you from accessing your website. Make sure you have good backups of the footer.php file before you proceed.

You want to paste the code, using Edit | Paste or the keystrokes CTRL-V, directly before the </body> tag. Click on the Save button.

Wait a few minutes and the status triangle should change from yellow to green. You’re done.

You can export the textual content from all of your posts and pages into one file. Media files, such as images are not exported, but the link to media will work after the media content within the wp-content/uploads directory is moved over.
