Google webmaster tools or google analytics ?

[Dmoz]

Hi there,

if someone can give you an access to only one tool, which one will you choose, Google webmaster tools or google analytics ?

Any comments ?

well both have their own functionality and they both have different aims. you can not choose between, analytics used for keeping a track on your website's traffic, webmaster is used for requesting search engine to crawl your website.

They both are useful and you are recommended to utilize both systems to get aware of your website's linking profiles, the geographical locations from which visitors have found and visited your website, the latest reports on the links which point to your pages and from what domains they originate. You will also have ability to check your ranks on various Google data centers and country-specific locations, and learn what keywords have been used by visitors to find your site listed on Google.

Both are good if i have to choose one then i'll go for Google webmaster tool.because it is more than analytics.

Both are important as both are two sides of one coin.

Ya i too suggested both 2 tools, Both are giving various service for same purpose, and web master tool is used for indexing sites and google analytics for visiting

I think web master tool is better if you want to write about structure data of your site but analytic is also good as it helps to check the bounce rate of your site and also the visits on your site.

If I have to choose one between them then I will choose the Google Webmaster Tool, which provide some important and better service like it forces the search engine to crawl your website.

I will prefer to choose both..but if have to choose only one between both of them, then i will go for Google Webmaster Tool..

Most of the people wanted to chose Google Webmaster, its the foundation for all kind of SEO work. Google Analytics provides visitors list and Google webmaster provides Website errors related to search engines.

Google analytics and webmaster tools both are different tools with different purposes. It is recommended to use both the tools. Analytics can be used to track the behavoiour of your website traffic while webmaster tool now called as google search console can be used to help search engine to index your website. There are other benefits of using websmaster tools. You can see what keywords are getting traffic to your site, do demographic targetting, submit sitemap, etc.

2) google Analytics Show you a real-time website Performance, Audience Overview, Behaviour, and acquisition

I opt for G.A. Google Analytics' approach is to show high-level, dashboard -type data for the casual user, and more in-depth data further into the report set. Google Analytics analysis can identify poorly performing pages with techniques such as funnel visualization, where visitors came from (referrers ), how long they stayed on the website and their geographical position. It also provides more advanced features, including custom visitor
