Google Sitemaps FAQ
Q: What is a sitemap?
A: A sitemap is an XML file that lists all available URLs for a website, along with additional information about each URL in the file. You should always create a sitemap for your website. This will help search engines crawl your site faster and display more content. Right now the standard sitemap format is XML, all major search engine use this format for sitemaps.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: How do I create a XML Sitemap?
A: This is one task you will not want to do in notepad, it can be done, but would be very time consuming. There are many websites & freeware programs that can build an XML sitemap for you. I don’t recommend purchasing software to create XML sitemaps; many freeware programs do the exact same thing. Below is a few links to free XML sitemap generators & websites.

- http://www.auditmypc.com/free-sitemap-generator.asp - Online Sitemap Generator (no limits)
- https://www.google.com/webmasters/to...generator.html - Official Google Sitemap Generator
Q: How do I submit my XML sitemap to Google?
A: This is a very simple thing to do; I also recommend placing a direct link to your sitemap on your homepage. You can the Google Webmasters Central to submit your sitemap to Google. There are many other great features and tools with Google Webmasters Central as well; you’ll find it very useful. Below is a link to Google Webmasters Central.
- http://www.google.com/webmasters - Google Webmasters Central
Q: What is the robots.txt file?
A: The robots.txt file is part of the Robots Exclusion Protocol. You can use this file to allow or disallow search engines from crawling and indexing certain areas of your website. This is great to reduce bandwidth usage by crawlers. You can also point to your XML sitemap file; this is useful since it allows search engines to find your XML sitemap.

Q: How do I create a robots.txt file?
A: This is very simple to do. You can open notepad or any text editor you like and create the file robots.txt is text format only. Below is the basic sample code to point to your sitemap and allow indexing and crawling of all your pages. Just save this file and upload it to your top web directory.
User-agent: *
Disallow:
sitemap: Your URL to Your SiteMap
- http://www.robotstxt.org/wc/robots.html - More Advanced Robots.txt Usage.
Q: I’ve submitted my sitemap, why haven’t I been crawled?
A: Just because you submit a sitemap doesn’t mean you might get crawled any faster. New sites can take awhile to get fully indexed into Google, or any other search engine for that matter. The best way to increase this indexing is by getting quality back links to your site. Remember, the sitemap is just a map of your site for the search engines; it doesn’t increase your crawling rate. If it does, it isn’t by much.

3 Ways to Get Indexed in MSN, as quick as possible
When it comes to getting a site indexed, you can accomplish that very quickly in Google, Yahoo is slower, and MSN is oftentimes the slowest, from my experience. MSN will eventually find your site if you are doing any kind of regular SEO or link building.
If you are looking to get indexed in MSN, quickly, then I found a few ways that seems to work, and I thought I'd share it with members of this forum. I've gained much knowledge reading the threads here, so it's my time to give a little.
3 Ways to Get Indexed in MSN as quick as possible
1. Exchange links with another site, indexed in MSN, that is PR4 or above. MSN spiders will regularly be visiting a PR4 site, so you should get one to your site by doing this. But, this exchange of links is not always the easiest to accomplish. You can check to see if a site is indexed in any of the 3 search engines by typing "url:www.mysite.com" (no quotation marks) into their search bar.
2. Submit your site to MSN at http://search.msn.com.sg/docs/submit.aspx. I've heard that this page goes down from time to time, but it's worth a shot. Submit, and if it is still not indexed in a week, submit it again, but wait at least a week. You don't want to overdue and have that hurt your indexing.
3. This method appears to be the fastest. Go to MSN.com, click on "MyMSN" on the homepage. Sign up for a free account. You do not even have to sign up for a or have a hotmail address. You can use your already existing email address. Once you have your MSN account confirmed, go to http://my.msn.com. Locate the "favorites" section of the page, then click on "menu" of the "favorites" section. A drop menu will appear. Click "change details." At that point you can enter any URL you wish and pick the anchor text you desire. Now you have a link in MSN. Should get some spider activity, quickly.
That's it. Hope it helps.
Top 5 Common SEO Mistakes
Mistake 1: Keyword Stuffing
Before explaining why it's a bad idea, let's first define keyword stuffing as overfilling your content with your targeted keywords/keyphrases. By way of example, if you're targeting the phrase "navigation system," then keyword stuffing your content might read something like "Buying a new navigation system is something most customers do regularly as their old navigation system often fails to function in the proper way that a navigation system should..." and so on. It reads like a fourth grader's essay, and the search engine spiders pick up on the unnaturally high incidence of the same phrase repeated over and over.
While every SEO expert has a different opinion about keyword density, a safe but effective range might be considered 4-9% density. This makes sure the search engines correctly categorize your site for the services you offer, without them penalizing you for blatantly stuffing it with keywords.
Mistake 2: Link Farms vs. Directories
What is the difference between a link farm and a directory? It sounds like an easy question, but it's deceptively difficult. The reason is that directories and link farms share almost everything in common, so instead of a black and white difference between the two, they basically fall on a spectrum, and usually somewhere in the grey middle area.
That said, a working definition of link farm might go something like "a page of links with no other purpose or benefit to the visitor other than to provide backlinks to other pages." And why are they a problem? Search engines will not only disregard them as useless, they will often penalize the linked sites as well, by de-indexing them or demoting them in the rankings.
So how do you tell the difference between a link farm and a directory? Here are a few things to look for: 1) What's the Google Page Rank? 2) How well organized is it? 3) Does it have useful content other than links? 4) Is it visually attractive or otherwise made to be appealing to visitors? Be sure to ask these questions before submitting your site to an online directory.
Mistake 3: Duplicate Content
There's a lot of buzz going around the internet about duplicate content; quite simply, it's the same content appearing on more than one page on the internet. The search engines have been known to devalue pages that they see as duplicates, since the implication is that a site is simply spamming by putting automated content out on the web.
However, unlike link farm penalties, duplicate content isn't actively penalized, but merely disregarded sometimes by the search engines. If you're worried about it, well, write new content!
Mistake 4: Overbidding for PPC Advertising
Pay per click advertising (PPC) and SEO are NOT the same, but they're related enough to warrant a mention here. Amateurs often overbid for their PPC advertising, which not only costs them unnecessary money but drives up PPC prices elsewhere artificially. As with so many concepts in business, start low and go slow, which in this case means opening the bidding around 5-10 cents per click, and raising your bids as necessary to achieve your desired results.
Mistake 5: Investing Too Much Time in SEO Education
Serious webmasters devoted to online businesses and internet marketing would be wise to learn as much as possible about SEO. That said, the overwhelming majority of online business owners would probably be better off using their time to expanding their client base, or developing new products or websites, rather than spending tedious hour after tedious hour learning the minutiae of SEO and internet marketing. If you're capable of earning $45/hour while aggressively working your business, and can hire someone to handle SEO for you for $20/hour, then it's a no-brainer: hire an internet marketing company and get back to running your business.
