Google is bending over backwards to help you get your Web Site Spidered in less then 24 Hours. When you Create a Google Sitemap using free online tools Google will crawl your site within 24 Hours. After Google Crawls your site they give you a free Report Listing any problems they encountered while crawling. To take advantage of this amazing service from Google just follow these 4 simple steps.

Step 1 Get a Google Site Map Account

Go to Google and Create a Site Map Account.

Step 2 Create Your Site map

You can create your Sitemap either as an XML file or a TXT file. XML is the PPreferred method since you can give Google more information about your Web Site.

If You prefer to use a text file simply following the below direction taken directly from the Google Help File

Google accepts simple text files that list URLs. As the text files contain only a list of URLs, Google prefers that you use the Sitemap protocol so you can provide additional information about your URLs. The text file must follow these guidelines:

# The text file must have one URL per line. The URLs cannot contain embedded new lines.

# You must fully specify URLs as Google attempts to crawl them exactly as provided.

#Do not place more then 49,997 URLs in a Text File. If you site includes more than 50,000 URLs, you can separate the list into multiple text files and submit each one separately.

# The text file must use UTF-8 encoding. You can specify this when you save the file (for instance, in Notepad, this is listed in the Encoding menu of the Save As dialog box).

# The text file should contain no information other than the list of URLs.

# The text file should contain no header or footer information.

# You can name the text file anything you wish. Google recommends giving the file a .text extension to identify it as a text file (for instance, sitemap.txt).

# You should always upload the Text file to the Top Level Directory you want the Search Engines to crawl, also be sure that you don't list URLS in the text file that are located in Directories above where your sitemap is placed.

Step 3 Upload your Site Map File To Your Web Page

Once you have created an XML or TXT Sitemap using the instructions in Step 2 you would just upload it to your web page either by FTP or by using the Cpanel from your Web Host.

Step 4 Tell Google

The last step in this process is to tell Google about your Sitemap. You simply Log In to your Google site map account and add the URL of you Site Map. Don't forget to check 3 or 4 Hours later to see that you uploaded the SiteMap Correctly.

Now be sure and repeat the above 4 Steps whenever you change your website

Bonus Step 5

After Google has read your Sitemap and crawled your site (usually 12-24 Hours) you will see a verify link next to your Sitemap name. Click the link and Google will instruct you to create a blank file and place it on your Web Page, Once you have done that Google will tell you any problems it encountered crawling your Page
