On Thursday, the folks over at WebmasterWorld noticed a visual change to the download buttons within Google Webmaster Tools. The new buttons were basically moved up higher onto the page on the links, keywords and other data reports.
But what changes is a lot more significant than just the position and look of the download buttons.
Vanessa Fox posted a deep dive on the new changes at Search Engine Land, saying the new download feature "significantly add to the usefulness of the data."
Here are the changes in a nut shell:
- Search query data now with filtering options to drill into specific data or date ranges.
- Option to view up to 500 rows at once
Vanessa says that the ability to download this data in the new form give you "a much more accurate understanding of what the data actually."

Funnily enough, it is only in the last few days that I have been making the most of the downloads as a means to monitor and develop out current SEO keyword campaign! I do like this feature as it managed to save a lot of time.
