Google Sitemaps is a simple and fast way for your internet site to

be perpetually indexed and modified by Google.

This article will talk about the gains of implementing this

new technology, who will have to use it, how it works and how to

create a Google Sitemap for your web site.

Benefits of having a Google Site Map

1. Speeds up the invention and addition of your web pages

in the Google index.

2. Enables Google to speedily find web pages that have been

recently changed.

3. A method for your internetsite to be listed and appear quickly

in Google.

4. Helps Google to keep search content fresh, so people

have the most up to date data available.

Who must use Google Sitemaps?

All website owners may use Google sitemaps whether you have

one page or millions of pages, nonetheless it’s for the most part geared

towards people that make general changes to their web

pages.

Normally web pages on a big website will not all get indexed

because the links are too deep within the site. By

including all your pages in the Google Sitemap you have a

better chance of them all being indexed as Google thrives

on fresh content. According to Google, it won’t increase

your site’s rankings.

How does it work?

Google sitemaps are devised using XML (Extensible Markup

Language). This is a coding language similar to HTML(though

a little more complex). It is oftentimes employed these days in

syndicated feeds or blogs.

Here is the sample XML code you would include for each page

of your site:

http://www.yoursite.com/

2005-07-15

monthly

0.5

(remove periods for code to work)

Here is a breakdown of what each line represents:

location – name of your web page ie http://www.yoursite.com

last modified – when you last altered the page.

change frequency – tells Google how often you change that

particular page, whether it’s never, weekly, daily, hourly,

monthly or yearly.

priority – sets the priority you want Google to place for

that page on your site. You may prioritize your pages: 0.0

being the least, 1.0 being the highest, 0.5 is in the

middle.

This is only relative to your site. It will not affect your

rankings. Certain pages on your website may have more

significance than others because they are modified more

often ie home page, articles page.

It would take a long time to fabricate your Google Sitemap by
