Yesterday (14 December 2007) saw a nice addition to the data available through the Google Webmaster Tools application. Content Analysis shows issues relating to content and meta data that might deter Google from crawling or indexing your site including long page titles, short meta description, duplicate meta data, non-indexable content.
Although any SEO bod worth their salt already knows that titles and meta description need to bespoke, to the point and related to the page content, it is often difficult to relate this to clients and even more so to web developers set on making everything as easy as possible via a single dynamic page.
Set your client up with their own login to Webmaster Tools for their site and they will soon be on your side.
