GWT is one of things that many of webmasters tend to forget checking, since there are so many other things on our minds from payments to reporting to optimizing our sites for keywords and search. But, I just wanted to remind you that you shouldn’t ignore what is happening in your GWT.
Google keeps getting more and more sophisticated, so it’s important to closely monitor your 404 errors and your site speed, on top of many other things that can affect your rankings.
Make sure your sitemaps are submitting correctly, and make sure that your site is optimized for maximum speed. Check this out for more information on optimizing your page speed: Page Speed Home
Totally agree.. and not to mention it is absolutely golden for geo targeting your website, or sections of your website
Totally agree too.
For more Bing traffic, try their webmaster site.
I pay more attention to site load times then to my sitemaps.
Few of my sites don’t have sitemaps, and havent found much of a difference.@Rak 236913 wrote:

I was shocked when i first started digging into webmaster tools on exactly how many duplicate pages, redirect erros and many otehr issues I found along the way. It is essential to di into the numbers even though the homepage status is usually OK
I also found an issue when my page load times went way high, and it was only for translated pages fo guests so I was unaware of the issue.

Google is so good, that it will find all your pages. And it will spider them.
And every article i put up, has inbound links coming into it from sites all over the place, and gets picked up quickly.
I try to use less of google to try and make my content look as organically found as possible.

I noticed there are two type of 404 errors – internal broken links which are easily fixed and other sites linking to page on your site.
I’m not sure what I can do about others linking to a page from my site. Some of these seem to be in iframes while others seem to be a snipped of SERP results.
Google reports these as 404 crawl errors. They do seem to drop off quickly but I’ve always wondered if these have some downside.
Anyone else have these?
