Google Seeking Feature Requests For Webmaster Tools
To submit feedback, go to Matt’s blog and leave your feedback.
Matt’s disclaimer:
To be clear, this is just some personal brainstorming–I’m not saying that the Webmaster Tools team will work on any of these. What I’d really like to hear is what you would like to see in 2014, either in Webmaster Tools or from the larger team that works with webmasters and site owners.

8 Reasons To Use The Google Disavow Tool By Matt Cutts
8 Reasons To Use The Google Disavow Tool By Matt Cutts
Matt Cutts posted a video answering the question "Should I use the disavow tool even if there's not a manual action on my site?"
The short answer is yes. But when?
Matt Cutts offers 8 times when to use the disavow tool. They include:
(1) When you get a manual action, of course.
(2) Webmasters won't remove the bad links to your site or want to charge you to remove them.
(3) You are worried about negative SEO.
(4) You see links pointing to your site you do not want to be associated with.
(5) You saw a link bomb attack and are afraid it might hurt your site.
(7) You see your rankings dropped and you think it has to do with an algorithm Google ran, i.e. Penguin algorithm.
(8) You can’t sleep at night because of some of the links you have.
Here is the video:

Matt Cutts Discusses Duplicate Meta Descriptions
Google has released a new Webmaster Help video featuring Matt Cutts talking about duplicate and unique meta descriptions.
Cutts answers this submitted question:
Is it necessary for each single page within my website to have a unique metatag description?
“In general, it’s probably not worth your time to come up with a unique meta description for every single page on your site,” he adds. “Like when I blog, I don’t bother to do that. Don’t tell anybody. Ooh. I told everybody. But if there are some pages that really matter, like your homepage or pages that have really important return on investment – you know, your most featured products or something like that – or maybe you’ve looked at the search results and there’s a few pages on your site that just have really bad automatically generated snippets. We try to do our best, but we wouldn’t claim that we have perfect snippets all the time.”
No, believe it or not Google is not perfect (as Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt also reminded us).
Cutts concludes, “You know, in those kinds of situations, then it might make sense to go in, and make sure you have a unique handcrafted, lovingly-made metatag description, but in general, rather than have one metatag description repeated over and over and over again for every page on your site, I would either go ahead and make sure that there is a unique one for the pages that really matter or just leave it off, and Google will generate the snippet for you. But I wouldn’t have the duplicate ones if you can help it.”
Some will probably take Matt’s advice, and start spending a lot less time bothering with meta descriptions. Just remember that part about looking at the search results and making sure that Google isn’t displaying something too weird, particularly if it’s an important page.
