Google Announces Improvements to Sitemaps ProgramFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE3/2/2006
Google announced yesterday that webmasters have some new features to look forward toin their Google Sitemaps accounts. The new features will help keep webmasters moreinformed about what's going on with their websites on Google, which before wasnearly impossible to do.
The Google Sitemaps program, while still in beta stages, helps webmasters getofficial feedback from Google about what's going right and wrong with their websitein the eyes of Google. Any webmaster who has worried about getting better searchengine rankings knows what a blessing even small bits of confirmed information canbe!
The new features just implemented include:Â Average Top Position : Lets a webmaster know the average top ranking position oftheir website over the past three weeks for the most common terms that userssearched for and clicked on relating to their site.
 Mobile search queries : Shows top queries from mobile devices that returned matchesfrom the site (only applies to sites with mobile content.)
 Downloadable details, stats, and errors : Webmasters can now download CSV filesdetailing their stats and reported errors for further analysis.
Aside from the new features, the basic purpose of the Sitemaps program is still tohelp webmasters get their sites indexed by Google completely and quickly.
The Google Sitemaps program is free for any webmaster to join, the only catch isthat it takes quite a bit of technical-know-how to create a valid site map data filefor a website. There are however web sites and programs available that take theedge off the learning curve and make the process much easier.
One such program, Sitemap Equalizer (http://www.sitemapequalizer.c om/), was recentlyreleased by Jeff Alderson - a leading SEO Expert.
"Our software does more than just create the Sitemap XML file. It also helpswebmaster diagnose and eliminate several critical problems with their sites BEFOREthey submit their Sitemap to Google," Jeff said. He continued, "As with just abouteverything, there is a right way and a wrong way to submit your site, we're helpingmaking sure our users avoiding the most common mistakes."
The bottom line is any webmaster or marketer who is serious about establishing a webpresence with Google needs to get their sites enrolled in the Sitemaps program.
