Create your Google Sitemap Online – XML Sitemaps Generator
Posted on 03. Feb, 2009 by SiteBox.
What is “XML sitemap”?
By placing a formatted xml file with site map on your webserver, you enable Search Engine crawlers (like Google) to find out what pages are present and which have recently changed, and to crawl your site accordingly.
What is “Change frequency”?
This value indicates how frequently the content at a particular URL is likely to change.
What is “Last Modified”?
The time the URL was last modified. This information allows crawlers to avoid recrawling documents that haven’t changed. You can let the generator set this field from your server’s response headers or to specify your own date and time.
What is “Priority”?
The priority of a particular URL relative to other pages on the same site. The value for this tag is a number between 0.0 and 1.0, where 0.0 identifies the lowest priority page(s) on your site and 1.0 identifies the highest priority page(s) on your site. The default priority of a page is 0.5.

Yahoo’s Back

I was all set to write an article predicting the future of search engines, when Yahoo dropped Google and replaced it with its own engine. Now that’s big news. In less than twenty-four hours, Google went from about 79% of the market share to about 51%, almost overnight. And what a welcome relief it is too! Being #1 in Google was great, but when you had the misfortune of dropping even a couple of positions you really felt it. Now there will be more stability; if you drop in Google today, your hits from Yahoo will remain consistent.

Google Sitemaps
Posted on 15. Jan, 2009 by SiteBox.
Google Sitemaps is a simple and fast way for your site to be constantly indexed and updated by Google.
Benefits of having a Google Site Map
1. Speeds up the discovery and addition of your web pages in the Google index.
2. Enables Google to quickly find web pages that have been recently changed.
3. A method for your site to be listed and appear quickly in Google.
4. Helps Google to keep search content fresh, so people have the most up to date information available.
Who should use Google Sitemaps?
All site owners can use Google sitemaps whether you have one page or millions of pages, however it’s mostly geared towards people that make frequent changes to their web pages.
Normally web pages on a large site will not all get indexed because the links are too deep within the site. By including all your pages in the Google Sitemap you have a better chance of them all being indexed as Google thrives on fresh content. According to Google, it won’t increase your site’s rankings.
