    I notice one week now since I got my sitemap installed that i'm receiving a lot of Google bot spider and Yahoo! Slurp Spider, is that a good thing or bad thing.?:confused:

    I would never worry about being crawled by the spiders too much. :)

    It is a good thing indeed to have spiders crawling your website. If you could keep could keep your content updated, the rate of crawl could be more frequent. Also its important to keep your xml site map updated.
