    I got this email from Jayde

    Dear Jayde Member,

    Did you know as of April 11th there was no longer a need to manually submit your sitemap to search engines. Last fall, the major search engines agreed on a sitemaps format. You can now add a simple line to your robots.txt file and let the engines know where your sitemap document resides on your site.

    Just include the following line in your robots.txt file and you should be all set:
    Sitemap: http://www.yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml

    Robots.txt has traditionally been used in a more prohibitive fashion - by telling search engine spiders where not to go on your site. This latest sitemaps implementation of robots.txt however is telling the spiders where TO go.

    Sitemaps are important and in the long run will help improve your website visibility in search results. If you need information or have questions about sitemaps contact Chris.

    Keep On Promoting

    yes, somebody already posted this about sitemaps and it contained information about this.

    To view the whole protocol and make sure your sitemaps are up to date and configured correctly visit www.sitemaps.org and click protocol.
