Google Webmaster Tools Beta International Targeting Reports

Google is currently beta testing a new international targeting report within Google Webmaster Tools.
The new International Targeting report is designed to help webmasters who have international sites and use href lang markup understand common mistakes and learn what errors they need to fix, in order to better communicate the language settings across the webmaster’s internationalized web site. The tool offers debug details on missing return links from specific language codes, to unknown language codes in general.
Here are some screen shots of the beta tool that was shown by Google during their SEO hangout last night.

April 2014 Google Webmaster Report

Busy month at work? Didn't have time to follow all of Google's changes? Don't you worry, here is a short recap of what happened over the past month specific to Google changes that may impact SEOs and webmasters.

We had a couple questions regarding possible updates being pushed out by Google, none were confirmed. But Google's Matt Cutts did say they are working on a softer Panda update. The typical chatter going on in the WebmasterWorld thread of flux is, um, typical.
We had Google target a large guest blog network and yes, the publishers got hit as well. Google also targeted link networks in Greece, Spain, Italy and Germany and then hit smaller sites where we should be concerned. Google launched the new user interface as well, which may impact traffic.
That being said, here is a summary of the past month by category and if you also missed last month, see our March Google recap.
