Re: Your Google Sitemap

If you edit your "key words" or "page description" or other information in your web site should you redo the sitemap?

No

Why must you close it? Move it somewhere it doesn't bother you. However youn delete it the clasic way: select it and delete it

Upload the ror.xml file using ftp, and link the ROR image in your index page to the ror.xml file

Re: Your Google Sitemap

I added ror sitemap generator some weeks ago and it was working with Google. However, Google recently stopped finding the site (harbourfolkband.com) - I later realised I hadn't made a discreet link from the home page to the .xml file and I fixed that. I also did the whole ror generation process again and have a ror.xml file in my public_html FTP area plus a discreet link on the homepage http//www.harbourfolkband.com/ror.xml - however, Google doesn't find the site. Do you have any ideas ????

Regards

Re: Your Google Sitemap

Not 100% certain but think you have to wait for the googlebot to crawl your site again. You can tell when it has by checking your AWSTATS in control panel.

Re: Your Google Sitemap

I did a hyperlink from an image on my home page as blah blah blah/ror.xml.
Is this what you mean by a link? It has been awhile since I have used the tools.

Please don't get confused about creating a sitemap and submitting to Google or Yahoo or Msn etc. Ror creates a sitemap in xml.format. This ror.xml file contains all the page links that ror has found in your site. The link to this ror file in your home page, helps spiders to lokate the ror.xml file, and from there, all your pages.
This means that ror.xml is useful at the point that a Search engine visits your site. IT DOES NOT SUBMIT YOUR SITE TO GOOGLE, YAHOO etc. To submit your site to search engines, so they can find it, you can
1. Eenter google (or yahoo or other)SE site, find the "Submit a Site" page, and manually submit
2. Buy a commercial sitemaper, which after creating the sitemap, upload it on your server and also submits the info to Google, Yahoo etc.
3. Have Vodahost make for you the One time free submission to search engines. You must submit a support ticket for this.
4. Subscribe to a SE optimisation and Submission service, like http://www.vodahits.com/ that will help you optimise your site and will submit frequently to search engines.

Please note that it make even take 6 - 8 weeks before Google indexes a site, even a submitted one, IF it does. Not All sites get indexed.
