Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft Team Up To Support Sitemaps

It appears that Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft are joining forces to support Sitemaps 0.90. This comes officially from the Yahoo blog. Google has supported Sitemaps for a while now, and now the trend is moving toward other search engines. I went over to Yahoo Site Explorer and added my site map this morning, was just as easy as it is for Google.

If you are not familiar with what a sitemap is, basically it’s an XML feed that gives websites an easy way to inform search engines when a page has changed. There are numerous plug ins and tools out there for generating sitemaps. For WordPress I use Google Sitemap Generator for WordPress. If you do not use WordPress, you should check out phpSitemapNG, which will easily create a sitemap for any website.
