By placing a Sitemap-formatted file on your webserver, you enable the Google crawlers to find out what pages are present and which have recently changed, and to crawl your site accordingly. Using Sitemaps to inform and direct the Google crawlers, they hope to expand their coverage of the web and improve the time of inclusion in their index. Google Sitemaps are an easy way for you to help improve your coverage in the Google index. It's a collaborative crawling system that enables you to communicate directly with Google to keep them informed of all your web pages, and when you make changes to these pages. It's very important to have a site map so search engines can find all of your pages. Also many of your visitors use site maps to navigate your Website to get where they need to go instead of looking for links. Just point CoffeeCup Google SiteMapper to where your Website is located at on your hard drive and it will create a nice page you can use for a site map. All of your Web pages will be listed and linked in order and the page will match your existing colors, backgrounds, etc.... |
