Google has a commitment: provide the most relevant search results to the user. Of course, not redirecting the user to a website that has malware is a non-functional requirement to this commitment. Their new tool, Fetch, is thus in line with their commitment of providing relevant search results.

If you ever have doubts about your website, why not take a look at it from Googlebot’s eyes. This can specially be useful if your website has been cloacked. Of course, this cloacking takes part when a page is fetched by the bot. It is only then that hacker code will link another page. Otherwise, everything looks normal from the website owner’s perspective.

The good thing with this new application is that it gives detail about the malware and the portion of the site that has been attacked. This is a great help when it comes to getting rid of malware from your website. So overall, this tool is not just useful for webmasters. It is goes further and increases security on the Internet and aims for better search experience for all.

  • Very informative post. I found this tool very useful because I logged more often to the Google Webmaster Central monitoring my websites rather than perform search on the search engines.
