Why You Need a Google SiteMap
March 3rd, 2008Why Have a Google Site Map?
In June 2005 Google launched a new service called Google SiteMaps™.
Google SiteMaps allow website owners to quickly submit their website’s new or modified page URLs (web addresses) to Google’s web crawling spider which is called “Googlebot”. Google SiteMaps have no influence upon search engine ranking performance or the calculation of a site’s PageRank™ value; however what they will do is allow a site owner to get their site quickly indexed by Googlebot faster than ever before. This in turn ensures that all the pages within a website are quickly indexed and included into Google’s search results, thus improving search engine visibility for the site.
