Microsoft is copying yet another service provided by Google search engine. Their Live Search team has announced their Webmaster Portal which would provide tools, content and resources for SEO professionals and webmasters.

This is similar to Google’s Webmaster Central & Yahoo Site Explorer service.

They are also going to re-enable the back link search tool for the users on the Live search engine which was disabled sometime back.

The blog post further stated that the portal would have following features:

Troubleshooting tools to ensure MSNBot is effectively crawling and indexing your site
Sitemap creation, submission and ping tools
Statistics about your website
Consolidation of content submission resources
New content and community resources

They are currently inviting people to join a limited beta test of this new service.
