Google Sitemap is now getting support from Microsoft & Yahoo. They have moved to a new name space called www.sitemaps.org with now version 0.9.In case you are new to site map, using a site map not only makes it easy for your users to see the entire structure of your website, but it also makes it easier for the search engines to spider your site.When the search engine spiders come to visit, they will follow all of the text links from your main index page. If one of those links is to a site map, then the spiders will go right to the sitemap, and consequently visit every page you have text linked to from that site map.
Let examine a sample of valid sitemap protocol
<blockquote><?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
<url>
<loc>http://www.example.com/</loc>
<lastmod>2005-01-01</lastmod>
<changefreq>monthly</changefreq>
<priority>0.8</priority>
</url>
</urlset></blockquote>
Easy stuff
