Find out what you need to know to improve your Google Ranking. This great new tool will get you on
your way!
Overview:
You and every website owner wants to improve their ranking on Google but most people have no idea
where to begin. Google Sitemaps is a powerful starting point that helps you ensure that all of your site’s pages
are listed in Google. Plus, it gives you useful information about your site that can help you develop a strategy to
improve your ranking.
Benefits:
· Submitting to Google Sitemaps gives you automatic submission to Google.
By providing a list of all the webpages on your site, Google can inform and direct their crawlers, speeding up their discovery
and addition to their index. This is especially useful for dynamic content or pages, which aren’t easily found
by crawlers by simply following links.
· If a page on your site wasn’t listed, Google Sitemaps provides the reasons why so you can
avoid the same problems in the future.
· If you add pages to your site, you can add the new pages to your list on Google Sitemaps to help
speed up their discovery by crawlers.
· Google Sitemaps also provides you with valuable information and statistics about your site,
including what keywords visitors used to find your site, who your referrers are, etc. This will help you to tailor your web
marketing strategy.
Details:
Search engines such as Google discover information about your site by employing software known as
"spiders" to crawl the web. Once the spiders find a site, they follow links within the site to gather information about all
the pages. The spiders periodically revisit sites to find new or changed content.
Google Sitemaps is an experiment in web crawling. By using Sitemaps to inform and direct their crawlers,
Google is hoping to expand their coverage of the web and speed up the discovery and addition of pages to their index.
