Trigger Happy Webmasters

Looks like someone over on the Google Webmaster Tools team went a little trigger happy last night.

Update: and just in case I missed the first bajillion messages in my dashboard, they also fowarded it to my inbox.

Dear Webmaster Tools User,

If your website accepts advertising, we invite you to increase your site’s visibility with advertisers in Google Ad Planner, a free media planning tool used by tens of thousands of media planners and buyers. This is done through the Google Ad Planner Publisher Center, a section within Ad Planner that lets you take charge of your site profile.

THREE STEPS TO VIEW YOUR SITE PROFILE

To see how your site profile looks in Google Ad Planner, follow these steps:

1. Visit www.google.com/adplanner

2. Type your site’s URL into the blue box that says “View a site listing”

3. Hit “enter” to get to your site’s profile

If your site profile is not complete, don’t worry, we have lots of ways for you to add information to the profile.

EIGHT WAYS TO UPDATE YOUR SITE PROFILE

Use the Google Ad Planner Publisher Center at www.google.com/adplanner/publisher to make your profile more complete. For example, you can claim your domains or subdomains, write a site description, provide a URL for advertising, and update your site’s content categories and ad specifications.

You can also opt-in your site’s Google Analytics data, invite additional users to edit and maintain your site, and promote your profile with a Google Ad Planner Site Badge.
