The Advantage of Site Maps

One of the best ways to submit your sites to search engines is through sitemaps. Recently, Google has added a sophisticated method for site submission. There are plenty of websites out there that will create a sitemap for you, free of charge. Also, Dreamweaver has a sitemap creation function.

One of the advantages of using sitemaps is that you can get more control over the spiders that "crawl" through your site. You can provide specific information such as when the page was created, when the page was last edited, or if an RSS feed is on the page, how often the page is updated.

The best part about sitemaps is that they're completely FREE to use.
