k guys, I made three tutorials, one was about how to make a sitemap.xml, one was about sitemapindex file and one was robots.txt All these tutorials to inform the SE and get crwaled ina shorter time and better.
Now we are gonna learn, after making our robots.txt and sitemap.xml how can we get searched by google? First of all, Google or other search engines, crwal your site, even if you don't do anything, but this may take some time, sometimes a month. Here we will try to invite the search bots to search our site in a shorter time, in a better way for more results from our site, and shorter time so it can crawl more.
There are few ways to inform search engines about your sitemap file. We will start from the easiest one.
1 - I recommend you to insert a line in your "robots.txt" that where your sitemap.xml file is ( or if you gzipped it, where your sitemap.gz ,, or how da hell you named it). Just a simple line like this
sitemap: http://frihost.com/sitemap.xml
2 - Second way is to send an http request. This one is easy too. What we gonna do is step by step, go to your web browser's address bar, write the search engine's URL first, then " /ping?sitemap=http://www.frihost.com/sitemap.xml " , tho we need to encode this in UTF-8, so it will look like this " /ping?sitemap=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.frihost.com%2Fsitemap.xml "
Here is an example, let's say we want to send Google Bot a request and we want to inform it about our sitemap, we must type this into the web browser address bar => " http://www.google.com/ping?sitemap=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.frihost.com%2Fsitemap.xml "
for yahoo for example, we have to type http://search.yahoo.com, or for ask we have to write the true search URL. Be careful. This works usually, sometimes it doesnot, it opens another webpage sometimes, prolly cus of a mistake we make on the address, so try again.
3 - This is the last way, go to the web search engine homepage and log in to user interface and submit your Sitemap via the search engine's submission interface. This , tho the hardest one, is the best hence you can watch the traffic on each page, for ex. on google.
Hope this be helpful.
Cheers.
