Since the relaunch of their Webmaster Tools interface, there have been a few rumblings about it, and it seems that Google is listening as they have asked for product ideas for future improvements.

This is slightly unexpected, not because Google doesn’t listen, but because the new redesign is based on survey results from users.

In fact Pete has previously posted on what he would like to see in Webmaster Tools (some of which they have already added).

None of the current questions deal with the recent issue of slow XML sitemap submission, although they have already responded to this in part.

Most popular ideas at the moment are:  

“In [Links to your site] I would like to see an additional summary view that just shows the domains that are linking to my website rather than individual pages. This will help me to easily see when word of my website has spread somewhere new.”

“Send any violation (which page, which link, which line “HTML”) to the webmaster’s e-mail”

“Ability to filter nofollow verses dofollow links in Webmaster Tools for “Links to your site”.”

“I would like to be able to choose between all my websites in the drop down menu. This used to be the case but was changed with the new layout.”
