Google SiteMapper

By placing a Sitemap-formatted file on your Web server, you enable the Google crawlers to find out what pages are present and which have recently changed, and to crawl your site accordingly. Using Sitemaps to inform and direct the Google crawlers, they hope to expand their coverage of the web and improve the time of inclusion in their index. It's a collaborative crawling system that enables you to communicate directly with Google to keep them informed of all your Web pages, and when you make changes to these pages. It's very important to have a site map so search engines can find all of your pages. Also many of your visitors use site maps to navigate your Website to get where they need to go instead of looking for links. Just point CoffeeCup Google SiteMapper to where your Website is located at on your hard drive and it will create a nice page you can use for a site map.

I have an uncleared question about Google Sitemaps I'm afraid to ask them about.

From a main site having a sitemap is it possible to link other of your websites pages to be indexed as often as the main? eg.

main site.com
|_ index.php
|_ other.php
|_ www.x-site.com/index.php
|_ www.y-site.com/index.php
|_ www.z-site.com/index.php

 

Yeah it is possible.

 

Does Google Sitemaps only work with xml sitemaps? Or can you use html?

 

Good to hear it 'cause I have a few sites refusing to be updated by Google's regular indexing crawling and without enough content to have their own sitemap
