Thursday, June 2, 2005, Google has just launched a beta service called Google Sitemap, which helps supplement its Web crawling technology in order to better index dynamic content and frequently refreshed pages. In other words, It is like pinging the search engine’s crawler at Web pages and tell it when content is updated. So, it might be very helpful for website that frequently update its files.
Quoted:
Google Sitemaps is an XML protocol by which Webmasters can submit a list of their URLs and provide data to Google about the relative importance of sites and how often they are updated, said Shiva Shivakumar, Google’s director of engineering. “Any dynamic site, any site that changes pretty rapidly or [with] archived content will benefit by telling us and others about it,” Shivakumar said.
Google also has released a tool called the Sitemaps Generator, which allows site operators to generate an XML-based sitemap. Google is offering the Python-based tool to open-source developers. For help in Sitemaps Genertor, you might need to refer to Google Sitemaps Help.
