Google Webmaster Tools Adds 90 Days of Search Query Data, Drops 3 Features

Google has announced that you can now see up to 90 days of historical data in your Webmaster Tools Search Queries reports instead of the previous 35 days. Additional changes have been made to the Webmaster tools interface

As Google explains:

In addition to the updates in historical data, now you can view search query data as soon as you verify ownership of a site. You can also data for the top 2,000 queries from which your site gets clicks.

If you see less than 2,000 it means that they haven't seen that many clicks or those clicks aren't getting tracked. It could also mean that your data is spread out among different countries. For example, a search query for flowers in Google Canada is counted separately from a query for flowers in the U.S. Nevertheless, with this change, 98 percent of sites on the web will have complete coverage.

Now the bad news, Google announced today that they are removing three key functions in the back end of Google Webmaster tools to give budget to newer innovations.

These three features will all be removed within the next two weeks.
