Google has recently implemented a program where any webmaster can create a Sitemap of their site and submit it for indexing by Google. It is a quick and easy way for you to keep your site constantly indexed and updated in Google.

The program is appropriately called Google Sitemaps.

In order for you to best use Sitemaps, you must have an XML generated file on your site that will transmit or send any updates, changes, and data to Google. XML (Extensible Markup Language)is everywhere these days, you have probably seen orange XML logo on many web sites and its often associated with Blogging because Blogs use XML/RSS feeds to syndicate their content.

Today RSS is known mostly as 'Really Simple Syndication' but its original acronym stood for 'Rich Site Summary'. XML is only simple code like HTML and it is used to syndicate your content to all interested parties.

And interested party in this case is Google. By creating Sitemaps, Google is really asking webmasters to take charge of indexing and updating of their sites. Basically, doing Googlebot's job!

This is a 'Good' thing! With steady influx of new web sites growing rapidly, indexing all this material will become a challenge, even with resources of Google. With Sitemaps, websmasters can now take charge and make sure their site is crawled and indexed.

Please note, indexing your site with Sitemaps WON'T improve your rankings in Google. You will still be competing with other sites in Google for top positions. But with Sitemaps you can make sure all your pages are crawled and indexed quickly by Google.

There are some other big advantages of using Google's Sitemaps - mainly you have control over a few key variables, attributes or tags. To explain this as simply as possible, your XML powered sitemap file will have this simple code for each page of your site:

< url> < loc>http://www.yoursite.com/< / loc> < priority>1.0< /priority> < lastmod>2005-07-03T16:18:09+00:00< /lastmod> < changefreq>daily< /changefreq> < /url>

Along with 'urlset' tags at beginning and end of your code, and an XML version indication - that's basically your XML file! File size will depend on number of webpages you have.

Taking a closer look at this XML file:

location - http://www.yoursite.com - name of your webpage

priority - you set priority you want Google to place on that page in your site. You can prioritize your pages: 0.0 being least, 1.0 being highest, 0.5 is in middle. This is ONLY relative to your site. It will not affect your rankings. Why is this important? You have certain pages on your site that are more important than others, (home page, high profit page, opt-in page, etc.) by placing high priority on these pages, you will increase their importance in Google.

last modified - when you last modified that page, this timestamp allows crawlers to avoid recrawling pages that haven't changed.

change frequency - you can tell Google how often you change that particular page. Never, weekly, daily, hourly, and so on - if you frequently update your page this could be extremely important.

Why do I need a XML Generator?

Too many times on website I go on, I see old/outdated free items which can be found all over web. It’s thought of a simple solution to attract traffic, but what Internet Marketing Guru’s like Corey Rudl won’t tell you is that your product has to have quality, not something that can be found easily on other sites. You can use Resell Pal’s huge library of new products to offer something unique and something that can turn your customers into a sale. Giving away right targeted freebies to your visitors is lightning fast way to profits.

People will easily judge that if your bonus product is bogus or something that can be found anywhere else, they will immediately think same about your actual product up for sale.

Your product has to solve an IMMEDIETE problem, it can’t be first chapter of something or a preview of something, and if it can solve a problem it can get you sales for your main product to solve even more problems.

You have to provide right type of targeted product to your market, by that I mean if you were operating a fitness website you would give them something like “3 Minute Exercises that will lead to instant weight loss” not “How to profit off of MLM schemes”.

Another thing is that your product should have value, for example a website template business would give away one or two premium templates that would cost regularly as much as $60 to $100 each, by doing so you are really surprising your potential customer, you are pushing there hot buttons basically.

By Giving away true quality your customer will think of Real product of yours as literally priceless and by doing that you can be making huge amounts of cash on Internet.

Never turn your free product into an advertisement station. Many companies who offer trial versions and samples of their products do this and this adds a huge level of un professionalism to product, if your customers see that you are giving them comfort and fun with your bonus item there is doubt they will have second thoughts about buying your product.
