Atricle Dump - Site Maps: Let Search Engines Find Your Pages
Manage! Manage! Manage!It's been a few months since I started in the internet business industry. I have been going at it full time and then some. In all that time all I saw everywhere I looked, in the forums, the newsletters, etc., was that you have to find a niche to succeed."I don't have a niche," I kept telling myself, because I just assumed I knew nothing while everyone keeps saying that EVERYONE knows SOMETHING. I just figured they didn't know me otherwise they'd shut up.Funnily, it turns out , but to your human visitors as well. Here are some pointers: - The Site Map should act pretty much like the table of contents of a book.
- The Site Map must clearly show all the sections of your site, and the information contained in each of those sections.
- Every item in your Site Map must be hyperlinked to its URL.

To maximize traffic to your site, you must make sure that all your internal pages are indexed, not just your main page (homepage). Fortunately, you don’t need to submit each of your pages manually. The most efficient way is to create a Site Map (a list of links to all the pages in your site) and link to it directly from your homepage. How Will A Site Map Help Me? Search engines find pages by “crawling” the web. They go through the code of all the pages in their database (also called index), following links to other pages and adding them to the database (in fact, more pages are added this way than by manual submission). However, search engines have trouble following links from pages buried too deep within the directory structure of a site. A Site Map solves this problem by giving the engines access to the links to all your pages once they follow the Site Map link in your homepage. For more effectiveness, place your Site Map in your root directory (where your index page is). Site Maps: Not Just for Search Engines While some web users will find their way through your site by following navigation links or by using the search box, others will turn to your Site Map. If you design your Site Map carefully, it will not only be useful to the search engines, but to your human visitors as well.

They are now labeling them as guests, which has been the norm in the hospitality industry for decades. Many restaurant chains as well as car dealerships and airlines have even taken to using this term.A simple word like guest versus customer can make a dramatic difference in the way we perceive the people who pay our salaries.

To get a list of all the pages in your domain that have been indexed by Google, you’ll have to use the “site” command, followed by your domain name plus a word (or group of words) that you know appear in all your pages (for example, a copyright statement or some footer text): site:yourdomain.com commonword If after typing this command you get a list of all your pages (or at least a significant number of pages that were
