Thread: How Validation Flow works in Google Webmaster tools?

Have you ever gone through "Validation Flow" of a sitemap in Google Webmaster tools? What it will do? When you fix an error you need to submit the xml sitemap to GMT and you have to wait patiently till it will update. But now Google introduced a progress report of your fix of website errors. That's really cool and we can note see the validation flow.

Never used it on my sites, is it beneficial for crawling?

Yes it is very useful to correct our seo mistakes.
Suppose you have created dummy pages without any content or duplicate content then you have to delete that or else Google's validation flow will intimate you this notification on Webmaster tools. That's best way to remove inactive pages and we can track in wmt.
