It seems like everyone is trying to find the best way increase their traffic on the internet and that equates to increasing your rank on Google. When it comes to Alaska Web Design<\/a>, there is nothing closer to the truth. There are a lot of options available to do just that. I am going to reveal one of them with you today. It is the Google sitemap. Basically a Google sitemap is an XML file that serves as a data provider to Google\u2019s Web Crawlers. You might be thinking this is too much for you to do all by your lonesome. Don\u2019t worry about it. I am going to cover the basics for you right now, in easily digestible chunks , and you can have your sitemap up within the hour! It is that simple!<\/p>\n

What is Google Sitemap? Technically a Google Sitemap is an XML object that contains information about all of the Web pages on your site.<\/p>\n

What information does a Google Sitemap contain about my Web pages? In a Google sitemap you can include parameters. Some examples of these parameters are the URL of your Web page, when you last modified its content, the Web pages update frequency, and also that specific Web pages priority in the site.<\/p>\n

What do I do with it? All you need to do is create this file, hand it off to Google, and Google will complete the rest.<\/p>\n

What does Google do with it? No one really can find out how Google uses this data. When you submit the file, Google has a disclaimer that states it gives no guarantee on traffic\/rank increase. However there have been many people who have claimed substantial increases in their Google ranking. <\/p>\n

How do I make a Google Sitemap? Just follow these following steps:<\/p>\n

What you need to do is create your XML file. Don\u2019t worry though; there are a lot of utilities that do this for you AND they are for free online. One of the ones I like is at www.sitemapbuilder.net.
\nThe next step you need to do is get the XML file you just created into Google\u2019s hands. To do this just visit www.google.com\/webmasters\/sitemaps\/login and login with your Google account. Once you’ve logged in you can add as many Sitemaps as you like.
\nThe last thing to do [spin]is remember to keep your site map[spin] up to date. Remember that every time you make a modification to your website you will need to follow these steps again.
\nThat\u2019s it. I hope this was an effective walkthrough on how to produce your very own Google sitemap. Hopefully you will be able to increase your Google ranking with this simple technique. For more options on improving your Google ranking make sure to look for people who know the best ways to incorporate these kinds of techniques into your Alaska website design<\/a> projects.<\/p>\n

Remember: Google is touting their new Mobile Sitemap program. If your site is mobile-friendly then I would also recommend creating sitemaps for that program as well. Have fun with your Alaska Web page design<\/a> projects!<\/p>\n
