SEO list: Where to add your Google Sitemaps.
You've created the Google Sitemaps file with one of the many available Wordpress plugins? You added it to
your Google Webmaster Tools account? You added it to your robots.txt file? Good. I did that,
too. But all that work, just for Google? Of course, Google is the mighty giant and most
important, but now that you have gone through all the hardships creating it, why not
'feature' it a bit more? Think of it as a huge RSS feed that you can give to search engines.
You might want to reach more then only Google - and there are some more that accept it! So
here you go, a list with all the search engines I could find that accept your
sitemap_index.xml file:
Google Webmaster Tools
Yahoo! Site Explorer
MSN
Live Search
Ask.com: http://submissions.ask.com/ping?sitemap= (add your
URL at the end of the link and hit enter)
moreover: http://api.moreover.com/ping?u= (add your URL at the
end of the link and hit enter)
Right now, I could find these 4 engines next to Google
who support sitemaps. I will keep updating this entry when new engines are available. Best
subscribe to my RSS feed to stay up to date...
