SEO: Navigation Part 7 – Google XML Sitemaps
One of the fastest ways to get your site spidered by Google is to add an XML sitemap. If you know ho to write your own XML sitemap, great. You’re ready to go. Just register with Google and tell them that you’re ready to have them read it.
If you’re like most people, you’ll want to have another website generate the site map for you so you don’t have to write the code yourself. There are a number of sites that can build the site map for you so just Google the term, “XML Sitemap” and you’ll be on your way. Or you can find one right on Google’s site found here:

As long as you there, browse through all of the Google Webmaster tools and find all of the great ways that Google can help you to actually improve your site’s visibility. Google will explain the simple process of submitting your site map for review. I’d go into the details of how to do it, but Google does a fine job of explaining the process. It’s not hard. Just go do it!
