Now more publishers can use Sitemaps
Tuesday, May 16, 2006
What keywords are people using to find your site in the Google search index? Is your
robots.txt file blocking search engines
from crawling your site? Whatever questions you have about your site's visibility,
Google Sitemaps
provides you with information that can help--and Sitemaps recently launched several new features you should know about:
New verification method
In the past, you needed access to your site's root directory to verify site ownership and create a Sitemap. This meant you couldn't create Sitemaps for many hosted sites, including
Blogger.com
sites like
Inside AdSense
. However, now more publishers can use Sitemaps. Sitemaps has launched a feature that allows publishers to use meta tags to verify site ownership. For example, if your site is hosted on
Blogger.com
, all you have to do is
add a unique meta tag
to your site's header to verify your Sitemaps account.
Re-inclusion request form
If your site violated Google's quality guidelines and was subsequently penalized--i.e., dropped from the Google search index--now you can submit a re-inclusion request using your Sitemaps account. Simply sign in, click the link, and fill out the form. This form is also available from the
Summary
page for sites that show violations.
For information about these and other newly launched Sitemaps features, visit the
Inside Google Sitemaps blog
