hello all, How do i get maximum use of the Google Sitemaps and how do i use it for my website's advantage? I have just recently visited the Google Sitemaps registration site and tried to register an account but i have not finished the registration and i do not know how to use it and i do not know how to actually upload the codes that they have given me including the code strings in my website. Do i just post it in my blogsite which is what i am talking about? Please send me some comprehensive replies and additional knowledge about this matter. thanks in advance, master_06
You shall registered in google first to submit your sitemap file. You can use some online sitemap generator tool or google sitemap generator page to make the sitemap file of your websites, and then submit it. But for my experience, sitemap will only help google know the structure of your sites. It doesn't help things like indexing and fast indexing. Some people keep updating their sitemap regularly, but make sure it's worth the time. Better generate a sitemap for your new site, and then submit to google. In future you don't need to update it, google itself can detect your changes made on your pages.
