Teaming up to make search submission easier As a publisher, you know how important it is to get your site crawled by search engines?more crawling equals more visitors which could equal more qualified clicks on your ads. Would you like it if, say, it would be a lot easier for you to provide search engines?and not just ours, mind you?with your content and metadata? Would you like it if there were a single, uniform format for search submissions to search providers? It?s kind of rhetorical question. Many of you have, in fact, told us you want just that.
Which is why Yahoo! Search, along with our friends at Google and Microsoft, is pleased to announce support of Sitemaps 0.90, a common protocol that will make it easier for you to get your pages seen across the Web. To facilitate that, we?re announcing, again in collaboration with our friends from across the aisle, Sitemaps.org. This new site provides details of the current release of the new Sitemaps 0.90 protocol and will include future updates as we continue to collaborate. With the common protocol, you can use a single format to create a catalog of your URLs and to notify major search providers of changes.
For all the details on how to submit your sitemap under the new standard protocol, visit the Yahoo! Search Blog. As always, we love to hear feedback, so visit our Yahoo! Site Explorer forum.
