Sitemap

There are so many websites now that it is quite a task for Google to crawl through all of them to update its search results. That's why you can now submit your site information using Google Sitemaps - in our case here, just an XML file that lists each page of www.dreme.co.uk together with some basic information like how often the page is updated, and how important each page is relative to the rest of the site. Easy! Simple folk can do it using an online sitemap generator from which you can download the XML file, and upload it to your server. Keep track of its progress in Google by signing up for your own account with them. It doesn't cost anything. Now when you update your site Google will know about it FAST. Better than the four weeks or whatever it was when you first submitted your details! Technically more experienced people are probably aware of more sophisticated ways of submitting to Sitemaps, so I won't mention any more! (These are useful if you are regularly adding a lot of new pages to your site.)
