Authors have also been giving us a lot of feedback on what else they'd like to see, so today we're
introducing "Author Stats" inWebmaster Toolsthat shows you how often your content is showing up on the Google search results page. If you
associate your content with your Google Profile either viae-mail verificationor asimple link, you can visit
Webmaster Tools to see how many impressions and clicks your content got on the Google search
results page. Check out what Matt Cutts would see for his content:
To see your information, go toWebmaster Toolsand login with the same username you use for your Google+ Profile. On the left hand panel, you
can see "Author Stats" under the "Labs" section. This is an experimental feature so we're
continuing to iterate and improve, but we wanted to get early feedback from you. You can e-mail us
atauthorship-pilot@google.comif you run into any issues or have
feedback.
