: Webmaster tools with Google, Yahoo and Bing I am currently using Google webmaster tools. I submitted my sitemap using their tool, etc. I am aware of the fact that Yahoo and Bing offer theit

Not only can you, but it's my opinion that you should. Each of them offer their own variation of information. The biggest benefit is you'll be aware of any problems with a particular search engine by using all three (i.e. maybe Bing encounters an error crawling your website, but Y! & GG don't).
The exception being that Yahoo! has switched to Bing search results, but their crawler is still chugging along.

You can use all three tools without penalty or issue. There's absolutely no reason for a search engine to levy a penalty on a website that uses tools that has no direct effect on the website itself (i.e. these tools aren't altering your code or using "techniques" to manipulate the search results). These tools are just informative. Nothing nefarious about them.

I asked a while ago if it was ok to have multiple accounts of the same "brand" of webmasters tools (i.e. 2 google accounts on one website - one for me one for an SEO company brought in) and it was ok.

I personally only use google - which generates 80% of our traffic. But I can't imagine a situation where using yahoo/bing/google on the same website will cause any problems.
