I've been encouraging websters to start utilizing Google compatible
sitemaps and there are alot of doubting thomases that don't believe they
are effective.  Well, the proof is in.

About four days ago I uploaded a video to my site, embedded in a static
page and, as of yesterday, Google was pointing searchers right to it.

I'm talking about the USS Enterprise link in my sig.  The DoD managed to
bully Google Video into removing the video from their server.  Other sites
have also buckled and I happened to get it from a soonly retiring Navy man.

I didn't realize how poplular the video was until Google started pointing
folks to my site in mini-droves.  I won't buckle, will I?  It's important
to me because it puts a human face on the cannon fodder that are the
backbone of the US military/industrial complex.  If we can't see coffins
coming home, it's nice to know that our guys have some fun along the way.

So, back on topic, if you want Google to pick your site up right away ...
not just the main entry pages but all the goodies hidden in the cracks,
create and submit a sitemap to Google Sitemaps.

There are many sitemap generators but I use AuditMyPC.com
<http://www.auditmypc.com/>  If you have a CMS or blog feed, Google will
pick that up as well.  The sooner you submit your sitemap, the quicker
Google learns about your site and indexes your additions almost instantly.

Not that it matters (tic).

I agree. No downside. Within seconds of updating the sitemap, Google
is paying us a visit. BTW, I use the software supplied by Google.

thanks for the post, Judy.

Google sitemaps have been on my mind for the past few days.  i downloaded
one script for making a sitemap yesterday..and was gonna ask in here re the
best script/software to use.

Thus your post was so timely for me.  I am gonna download that auditpc one
that you recommend.

Many thanks.

And lo, TechnoHippie didst speak in alt.www.webmaster:

If I can plug myself (since it's on topic!), if you'd like site search
functionality along with your sitemap, my search script (see sig) can
automatically generate them based on indexed pages. ;)

Cheers,

hey not just Google sitemaps. it's been known for a long time that having a
page of simple text links featuring every page on your site linked directly
to your home page is great for getting crawled (although is can skew rank).

not to say that Google XML site maps aren't something of a magic bullet just
now.

all the sudden incywincy.com showed up as a top referrer on one of my sites.
it(t's website) says it spiders around looking for other bots and search
engines which it then indexes content from. i dunno.
