Google Sitemaps
Ranked #105,903 in Computers & Electronics, #1,634,336 overall
Google Sitemaps, introduced in June 2005, is a communication channel to submit timely as well as archived contents to Google's crawlers. Google provides participating Webmasters with information, like crawler reports and keyword statistics.
Leading Google's Crawlers to Fresh Content
Collaborate crawling fully automated with XML feeds
Following links and URL submissions Google indexed billions of Web pages, but did not explore the 'hidden Web'. XML feeds maintained by Webmasters allow aimed crawling, pointing Googlebot to updates, new pages, and even deeply buried archived content which was never crawled before.
Dealing with billions of pages on the net, Google had no chance to communicate with webmasters on an individual or per site base. Google SiteMaps now opens this cannel for everybody, offering a method to exchange information on new and modified content in a timely manner.
Both sides can benefit: Google saves a whole of a lot of machine time and bandwidth costs, site owners get their new content earlier on Google's SERPs and reduce their server load by Googlebot no longer spidering archived content too frequently.
