Google Webmaster Tool is Amazing!
I have one amazing thing to share with you!
Notice: my website is still less than one month old.
I was putting a lot of efforts to write my posts, I tried to make them as high quality as possible and after publishing it and waiting for a while I just couldn't find them in google search even if I put full title, not just keyword phrase. My Google Analytics showed zero activity. I thought ok, my website is still very new and I need more time. After waiting some more days I started to think that maybe something is wrong.
I started to search here in WA and I found blogs about Google Webmaster Tool.
First I got "Redirected" status for all of my posts and I had a lot of headache and struggle until I found out what's the problem and manually redirected my website from "www.website.com" to "website.com".
That worked, I got all of my posts indexed and guess what?! After about one hour I googled keywords that I used. Only keywords.
Two of my posts are ranked in page 3, two in page 4, another four posts in pages 6-7 and only two more posts I couldn't find but I hope I'll find them soon. I know there is still lots of work until I (hopefully) get in first or second pages. But things changed drastically in one hour!
Now I'll keep my eye on Google Analytics to see if there are any changes. With Webmaster Tool I realised that I kind of had two domains (one with www and one without). How this happened or why I have no idea. I didn't know this can happen at all but it seems that this was a problem why my posts weren't ranked.
Here is the link of another WA member lesson how to redirect your website into one. (Means, not to have www.yourwebsite.com and yourwebsite.com which Google might understand as two even if the location of them is the same):

If you use second method (like I did) here is lesson how to import your website in FileZilla:

I hope any of you will find this helpfull, I just had to share!
I wish you all good luck and not to give up!
If you need any help with any of this, or you don't know how to verify your website in Google Webmaster please write me as I somehow managed to find out.
Cheers!
