Google and Your Site Map
Google site maps are a way to keep Google aware of when you have published something new to your site. By publishing an XML site map and registering it with Google, you insure that every update is immediatly sent to those who matter most: your potential visitors.
It’s easy to get caught up in High rankings in search engines and loose site of the bigger picture: it’s all about potential visitors. Unless you are an advertising site, you are all about potential visitors.
We have been publishing XML sitemaps and registering them with Google since the beginning of the program, which was early 2005. (Correct me if I’m wrong…Someone always seems to!) I find if you play the way Google wants you to play, a good relationship will be had! And using Google sitemaps is just a small way to keep that relationship good.
Now with Google auto pingThat means every time you change your site, Google is automatically notified!
