DAY 3 – Google Webmaster Tools

Day 3 is all about getting to grips with Google Webmaster Tools.  This tool only applies to those of you who have your own website, so if you don’t have a website, you can skip straight on to day 4.

This is also the most technical part of the challenge so if you don’t have access to your website to make changes or aren’t comfortable with tech topics, then you can skip this too.  You might want to give the video a quick watch first though as it’s likely not as bad as you’re expecting 😉
