Re: What are Google Sitemaps good for?


I just posted a GID Community blog entitled: What are Google Sitemaps good for?.

Quote:
There are some immediate, and obvious advantages for a webmaster to create and submit a Google Sitemap.

The most obvious of course, is that now you get to tell Google exactly where all the pages you want it to index, are! read more...

Please let me know what you think.

I have recently added Google sitemap for one of my sites (Pctalk.org). Will have to see if it has any impact.

Re: What are Google Sitemaps good for?


Really, it makes a difference.

However, please note that Google Sitemaps has been, for the last few days, acting abnormally.

Usually, it retrieves the sitemap index & xml files once a day (since I update and ping the service once a day).

Recently however, it's fetching the sitemap INDEX file repeatedly. For a few days this last one week, that was the only file it picked up, meaning it didn't grab the sitemap XML files themselves, just the sitemap INDEX file!

I actually had to back out of the Drupal 4.6.3 upgrade so I am Google Sitemap-less.

Re: What are Google Sitemaps good for?


I don't really bother with Google site maps.

I don't think it is necessary to use them yet as it is in beta stages.

Has anybody seen any ranking improvement or any other improvement from using them.
