Google SiteMaps and Search Engine Optimization
A Feed, For Free
Google’s sitemaps program offers a free way to improve indexing of large and dynamic web sites. Portent can maintain and submit your Google sitemap as part of any search engine optimization campaign.
Many search engines offer ‘paid inclusion’ programs. Yahoo’s Search Submit lets subscribers generate what amounts to a text file list of all pages on your web site. Then they’ll use that list to index and rank your site. Sounds great, right? It is, but it’s also expensive. An average search submit feed for a 100-page site will cost over $1000 to set up, and then $.15-$.30 per click. It can pay off in any search engine optimization campaign, but many firms balk at the price.
Google offers the same service, but free. Google SiteMaps lets you submit a similar site page listing to the Google index. While Google doesn’t guarantee results, we’ve found it to be very effective.
Let Portent Handle It
Regularly generating and submitting these files to Google can be a chore. But Portent has the tools to automatically generate and refresh your Google SiteMaps daily, weekly or hourly. And we generate sitemaps as part of any search engine optimization campaign.
Search engine optimization campaigns live and die on thousands of details. Google SiteMaps are one more such detail that Portent can handle for you.
