Google sitemaps are
an XML file using special tags that describe your files and where to find them
to Google. Webmasters can use this tool to tell Google which pages are updated
regularly and which pages are most important to the webmaster. Google can then
use this information to decide which pages get visited if they aren't going
to be able to visit them all that day.
Google site maps from AutoMapIt and we will update your sitemaps with your newest
pages forever!
Google Says: "Now webmasters can inform Google about all their existing Web pages, prioritize
the pages they want crawled first, and tell us when pages are updated so that
Google can index new content faster."
The change frequency could be as often as always for stock tickers or as rarely
as never for archived pages or photo galleries of special events gone by. Many
blogs are updated daily or weekly while forums may be updated hourly. Google does
not consider the value of the change frequency to be 'commands' and merely uses
them as suggestions. Using the change frequency accurately will help both you
and Google conserve bandwidth and allow them more time to spider your most important
pages.
The priority is an indication to Google of how important your pages are in
relation to each other. It does not affect the overall rank of your pages
in their SERPs, but it is
designed to help them to decide which of your pages is more important to you (higher
priority) in the result of a "tie" on their end or if they only have time to spider
a few of your pages today. Their scale is actually from 0.0 to 1.0, but AutoMapIt
uses a 1-10 scale for simplicity sake within your account. The actual numbers
that we assign in your sitemaps match Googles specification.
AutoMapIt is a unique sitemap service that will automatically re-spider your website
and update your sitemaps without needing you to remember to make the update or
using your time to keep your Google site maps up to date. AutoMapIt does it all!
