How to Submit Sitemap to Google, Yahoo, Bing and Ask
Cara nak hantar sitemap ke Google, Yahoo, Bing dan Ask

Sitemaps allow a webmaster to tell search engines about URLs on a website that are available for crawling. A Sitemap is an XML file that lists the URLs for a site. It also allows webmasters to include additional information about each URL: when it was last updated, how often it changes, and how important it is in relation to other URLs in the site.

This allows search engines to crawl the site more efficiently. Sitemaps are a URL inclusion protocol and complement robots.txt, a URL exclusion protocol. It is now possible to indicate a sitemap in the robots.txt.


What is my sitemap?

http://YourSite.com/atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=500

p/s: You can use this sitemap for yahoo, google, bing and ask.


SUBMITTING THE SITEMAP - Method 1

You can submit sitemaps via webmaster tools or via ping. We'll first look at the webmaster tools. They give finer control over crawling and provide tools for analyzing the performance of your site.

You need to have an account and authenticate (prove that you are the site owner) by putting a meta link in your html code. The links to do this are:
1. Google Webmasters
2. Bing Webmaster
3. Yahoo Site Explorer

For your info ;
Yahoo & Bing have join venture now.
With the completion of algorithmic transition to Bing, Yahoo! Search has merged Site Explorer into Bing Webmaster Tools. Webmasters should now be using the Bing Webmaster Tools to ensure that their websites continue to get high quality organic search traffic from Bing and Yahoo!.


SUBMITTING THE SITEMAP - Method 2

The other mechanism for submitting sitemaps is via ping. A ping is a mechanism by which a weblog notifies a server that its content has been updated. I list here the ping servers for google, yahoo, bing, ask.com, and moreover.com. Substitute the last part for your sitemap link.

http://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps/ping?sitemap=http://YourSite.com/sitemap.xml
http://www.bing.com/webmaster/ping.aspx?sitemap=http://YourSite.com/sitemap.xml
http://submissions.ask.com/ping?sitemap=http://YourSite.com/sitemap.xml
http://www.moreover.com/ping?sitemap=http://YourSite.com/sitemap.xml

Step by step ;
1. Copy the link above one by one.
2. Paste at your browser.
3. Change the yellow highlighter with your own website URL.
4. Then, press enter.
5. Done..
