    Google Sitemap

    Google Site Maps Beta is a new service by Google designed for website owners which enables you to proactively and automatically crawl information about your website to Google. This sitemap can help provide Google with more information about your website than usually crawled by the Google.
    You can create Google Sitemap within Minutes using out tool Google sitemap Creator. Simply Create Sitemap and submit it to Google both in .TXT or .XML format. XMl format is Best for creating sitemap.

    If you have an established site that is crawled regularly and have a good site map, is there an SEO benefit to having a Google Site Map?

    If so, is it better to replace the original site map or add the Google XML to your site?

    Thanks

    Hi ergobob,
    I suppose that if the site is already crawled, then it doesn't matter, maybe?

    While on the subject, does anyone know of a generator which will crawl 500,000 pages?

    I see this one here http://www.xml-sitemaps.com/standalo...generator.html but read this; http://www.xmlsitemaps.com/forum/ind...opic,95.0.html?
    Any way around this, time-wise?

    I've used this one before for free; http://enarion.net/google/phpsitemapng (can include a css styling, should that be needed) and it worked very well, but may have upper limits of 100,000 or so.

    Any ideas?

    I tried Google Sitemaps yesterday and was amazed about the information you get from that tool. I think it was also an interesting article in this forum.

    1)When Googlebot visited your site the last time

    2) If your site is indexed by Google or not

    3) You get Information how Google *see* your site
    - Which Keywords are associated with your website

    4) HTML Errors and other issues google bot found

    5) Which searches have been performed to found your website:
    - which keywords were used
    - which position you had in the listings
    - Top Searches

    For the first time you have access to the googles internal information about YOUR site, not only the pagerank.

    I think is a great input for SEO of your Website. I was wondering how many Keywords have been associated with my site that I would have never imagined and wonder how many *missing* keywords are *not* associated with my site (allthough I think there should)

    Summary: use it and learn a LOT about how a search engine see your site.

    Google sitemap is good to have

    The thing that is nice about Google Sitemaps it's an easy way for you to submit all your urls to the Google index and when you make changes and updates on your site it informs google of the changes. The reports are really good too. I highly recommend added it.

    help with google site maps

    Hi
    I built a google site map for my site but have trouble adding it as my site was built in an editor and seems not to have or show the <HEAD> <body> TAGS I have tried to add the tags but the editor keeps removing them and then I am told I have put them in the wrong place, as the editor writes the html for me I am at a loss although I can add limited html to the editor(ex border=0 or target=_blank)
    I do not know where I should place the html site map or even if I can
    Hope some one can help me many thanks

The first one from webnauts did a html version which was good but said I had some broken Links! well I searched my site and cleared all the link errors and tried it again and it still says I have got one bad link but I can't find it I don't want to add a site map with broken links if I knew where it was I could correct it do you know how to find it with out checking every inch of my site
