Google Webmasters Sitemap XML

By admin | January 20, 2009

A way of letting Google know exactly what pages are in your website is to create a sitemap XML file and submit it to Google Webmasters (google.com/webmasters).

Generate an XML file (Google Sitemap Generator) or make your own, making sure it is within the Google webmasters guidelines and standards. Most of the generators do a good job, but you will need to cull links if you haven’t excluded them in the filters properly.

When you have generated the final XML, upload to your specified directory and then submit in webmasters. Your XML will pass or fail with results in reporting of webmasters.

This will allow Google to know exactly what you want it to see and also dig up any broken links or unwanted pages you might have.
