Sitemaps

February 22nd, 2007 · No Comments

The internet changed while I was busy doing other things.

Now most search engines are looking for ’sitemaps’. This is an xml file that provides a map of your website to the search engine.

XML-Sitemap will generate one for a small site (less than 500 files ) for free or you can buy the software for $15 if you have a larger site. I tried the software and it worked well.

WebMaster Tools-Free XML Sitemap Generator will also generate a site map. They have a very nice applet tool that generates site maps and provides you with a list of broken links on your site. I found I had some house cleaning to do on TimesToCome.

Once you have your site map ( sitemap.xml ) you’ll want to submit it to google using the webmaster tools and upload it into the root directory of your website.
