Submit a Sitemap XML File to Search Engines

How to Submit a sitemap XML File to Search Engines
Once you have created the Sitemap XML file and placed it on your web server then, you need to inform the search engines that support this protocol of its location.
We can submit the sitemap in 4 ways given below:

• Submitting it to them via the search engine's submission interface.
• Specifying the location in your site's robots.txt file.
• Sending an HTTP request
• Submitting throw Google webmaster Tool.

Submitting it to them via the search engine's submission interface:
To submit your Sitemap XML file directly to a search engine, which will enable you to obtain status information and any giving out errors, refer to each search engine's documentation.

Specifying the Sitemap location in your robots.txt file:
Sitemap: <sitemap_location>
The <sitemap_location> should be the complete URL to the Sitemap, such as: http://www.example.com/sitemap.xml.
This directive is independent of the user-agent line. If you have a Sitemap index file, you can include the location of just that file. You don't need to list each individual Sitemap listed in the index file.
You can specify more than one Sitemap file per robots.txt file.
Sitemap: <sitemap1_location>
Sitemap: <sitemap2_location>
Submitting your Sitemap via an HTTP request:
To submit your Sitemap using an HTTP request (replace <searchengine_URL> with the URL provided by the search engine), issue your request to the following URL:
<searchengine_URL>/ping?sitemap=sitemap_url
For example, if your Sitemap is located at http://www.example.com/sitemap.gz, your URL will become:
<searchengine_URL>/ping?sitemap=http://www.example.com/sitemap.gz

Sitemaps XML format

Sitemap protocol

This post describes the XML schema for the Sitemap protocol.
The Sitemap protocol system consists of XML tags. All data values in a Sitemap must be entity-escaped. The file itself must be UTF-8 encoded.
The Sitemap must:

• Begin with an opening <urlset> tag and end with a closing </urlset> tag.
• Specify the namespace (protocol standard) within the <urlset> tag.
• Include a <url> entry for each URL, as a parent XML tag.
• Include a <loc> child entry for each <url> parent tag.

All other tags are voluntary. These voluntary tags may vary among search engines. Also, all URLs in a Sitemap must be from a single host, such as www.example.com or store.example.com.

Sample XML Sitemap

The following example shows a Sitemap that contains just one URL and uses all optional tags.

<?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>

The available XML tags are described below.

Attribute		Description
<urlset>	required	Encapsulates the file and references the current protocol standard.
<url>	required	Parent tag for each URL entry. The remaining tags are children of this tag.
<loc>	required	URL of the page. This URL must begin with the protocol (such as http) and end witha trailing slash, if your web server requires it. This value must be less than 2,048characters.
<lastmod>	optional	The date of last modification of the file. This date should be in W3C Datetime format. This format allows you to omit the time portion, ifdesired, and use YYYY-MM-DD. Note that this tag is separate from the If-Modified-Since (304) header the servercan return, and search engines may use the information from both sources differently.
<changefreq>	optional	How frequently the page is likely to change. This value provides general informationto search engines and may not correlate exactly to how often they crawl the page.Valid values are: always hourly daily weekly monthly yearly never The value "always" should be used to describe documents that change each time theyare accessed. The value "never" should be used to describe archived URLs. The value of this tag is considered a hint. Even though search engine crawlers may consider this information when making decisions, they may crawl pages marked "hourly" less frequently than that, and they may crawl pages marked "yearly" more frequently than that. Crawlers may periodically crawl pages marked "never" so that they can handle unexpected changes to those pages.
<priority>	optional	The priority of this URL virtual to other URLs on your website. Valid values range from 0.0 to 1.0. This value does not involve how your webpages are compared to pages on other websites—it only lets the search engines know which pages you deem most important for the crawlers. The default priority of a page is 0.5. The priority you allocate to a webpage is not possible to influence the position of your URLs in a search engine's result pages. Search engines may use this information when selecting between URLs on the same site, so you can use this tag to increase the possibility that your most important pages are present in a search index. Also, please note that assigning a high priority to all of the URLs on your site is not likely to help you. Since the priority is virtual, it is only used to select between URLs on your site.

First Website consists of 3 paragraphs of text. The text tells us that the important of SEO book and the prize.
Second Website 30 plus pages all focus on different SEO Books that we can hire, costs.
Which website do you think the search engine is likely to offer to the user first? It’s a rather obvious example but it illustrates the importance of good content so your priority should be good quality content.

Titles and Meta Data:

Use proper titles and Meta data for web pages. As discussed in Black hat SEO techniques section the meta description and meta keywords elements have been so changed in the past that Search Engines now consider them as less important. Titles play a key role for the web page and carry a lot of weight.
Keyword Research and Effective Keyword Use:
Before creating a website target the keyword and then create your website. Research the target keywords and key phrases you think people may use to find your website. Don’t target the single words because for that, there is huge competition, try multi keywords word phrases that are much more specific to your website.

• Title
• Meta Description
• Meta Keywords
• Heading Elements <H1> <H2> <H3>

Hidden Content:

A black hat SEO technique is hidden content. Hidden content means keyword stuffing within the code; this content will not be visible to the end user of the site.
One way of doing this is by using comment tags.
Comment tags look like this;
<!– Comment Tag –>
The main purpose of comment tags is for web developers to add in useful information within their code explaining what that piece of code does.
Here’s an example of a comment tag being used incorrectly in a bid to promote a hypothetical page targeting search engine optimization,
<!—Search engine optimisation, SEO, professional search engine optimisation company, spamming search engines –>
Another way of hiding content by using <noscript> tag. The <noscript> tag should be used to inform a user that a script is being used but their browser either doesn’t support the script
language used or they have that function turned off.
Here’s an example of the <noscript> tag being used correctly,
<script type=”text/javascript”>
<!–
document.write(”Hello World!”)
//–>
</script>
<noscript>Your browser does not support JavaScript!</noscript>
Another say of hiding the text, include the <noframes> tag and hidden inputs in forms.
Content can also be hidden from the end user by using CSS, excessively small text and coloured text on the same coloured background.
All of these techniques are frown by search engines and if detected then your website will be penalized.

The Meta description is used to describe the content of your webpage as a small phara.
Here’s an example of the Meta description being used in the correct manner,
<Meta name=”description” content=”Free SEO articles provides a info on SEO articles, seo tips and SEO tools. />
Here’s an example of the Meta description tag being used incorrectly for a page promoting a restaurant called “MadeUp”,
<meta name=”description” content=”MadeUp restaurant website is the best MadeUp restaurant website, our restaurant is better than any restaurant,great restaurant,best food restaurant,visit our restaurant” />

Meta Keywords Tag:

Here’s an example of the Meta keywords being used in the correct manner,
<meta
name=”Keywords” content=”Free SEO articles, SEO marketing, search
marketing, search engine marketing, e-mail marketing, SEO” />
Here’s an example of the Meta keywords tag being used incorrectly for a page promoting a restaurant called “MadeUp”,
<meta name=”keywords” content=”Restaurant,restaurants,food,feed,take away food,fast food,junk food,eat,eating
out,dinner,dining,meal,eating,MadeUp,steak and chips,chicken and chips,pie and chips,pudding,desert,big restaurant,small restaurant,best restaurant,great restaurant, exclusive restaurant,cocktails,wine,drink,pizza,sandwhiches”>

Doorway or Gateway Pages:

Doorway or Gateway pages are pages designed for search engines and not for the users. They are essentially bogus pages that are overfed with content and highly optimized for 1 or 2 keywords that link to a target or landing page. The user never sees these pages because they are automatically redirected to the target page.
