Many websites are unknowingly designed with barriers that prevent important URLs / pages being found in the natural search results of search engines such as Google, Yahoo! and MSN.
An XML Listing Service directs search engine spiders to URLs on your website that are available for crawling.
XML Sitemap is a properly formatted XML file listing the pertinent URLs of your website. This ensures search engines' spiders effectively capture and utilize your site's content. It can also provide additional information about each URL (when it was last updated, how often its content changes, its relative importance, etc.), allowing search engine to intelligently crawl the website. XML Listing Service is updated as needed to reflect the latest content of your website, and is highly scalable to accommodate websites of any size.
Google, Yahoo!, and MSN have all endorsed and recommend implementing XML sitemaps. |
