i have been slacking on this area of possible seo improvement.. i know that google checks the map, but never thought on the frequency.

curious..

I use a plugin and it does automatically every time I post a new entry

I use plugin which updates it everytime I make a post. but I do not use it on every site I make

here is the thing I dont understand when I look into the sitemap section of my settings it will show me it is updated yet when I open the sitemap page it lists posts as updating weekly and pages monthly so Im not toaly sure what that means, the other thing is when I page rank my site i get a pr of 0 .....wtf whats a guy gotta do to get a page rank?

Hi,

I'm using a crawler to create my sitemaps (GsiteCrawler on Windows).

Each time I change a few tens of pages, I re-crawl the site, then I go to the Google webmaster page to tell it to grab it again (thus I can see how many pages Google considers among the number of pages I submit to it).

And I do use the robots.txt files to tell the crawler where to fint it too.
Sitemap: http://www.mysite.com/sitemap.xml
Sitemap: http://www.mysite.com/sitemap.xml.gz

And when I launch a new site, I submit it to ask.com, yahoo.com and live.com
Ask.com Sitemap submission successful
http://search.yahooapis.com/SiteExpl...om/sitemap.xml
Submit sitemap - Webmaster ToolsLive Search

The question still open is how to create different sitemaps for a same site and how to spilt a big sitemap file (with like 30,000 links).

And why Google does not index all the submitted links.
For example, I have a site with 12,000 links in its sitemap but only 4,500 are really linked by Google (checked with the site: instruction)

re: french webbie
