Spider your site for up to 500 Pages

By spidering this deep, Google will know that you have an authority site, not just a couple of pages hoping to sell something.  Google looks for sites with meaningful, changing information and gives those sites higher rankings, which is the name of the game. 

Yes, 500 pages is a fair number, but many sites will have more and should consider our SitemapAutoUpdate Professional Version for an unlimited number of links, and for all the other advantages.

Create and submit a Google Sitemap

As the leading search engine, Google sets the standards and the rules.
 

The Google Sitemap Protocol allows a webmaster to inform search engines about URL's on a website that are available for crawling.  A Google Sitemap is an XML file that lists the URL's for a site.  It enables webmasters to include additional information about each URL - when it was last updated, how often it changes, and how important it is in relation to other URL's in the site.  This allows search engines to crawl the site more intelligently.

By submitting a sitemap to a search engine, a webmaster is only helping that engine's crawlers to do a better job of crawling their site.

The SitemapAutoUpdate Professional Version provides unlimited links to be spidered and mapped.

Create and submit a Yahoo! Sitemap

Yahoo! site maps began as simple text file site maps.  The original format was a text-only file using one URL per line.  Yahoo! has since expanded to accept RSS and ROR site maps.  The typical naming for this file, as suggested by Yahoo, is urllist.txt which pretty much describes what it is and what it does for them.

It is an easy format for a human to look at and review what your URL's look like in something much easier to read than xml. 

Create an OPML Sitemap

OPML site maps are read in an OPML reader called an outliner.  They are also supported by some blog software as the blogroll.  A WordPress blog, for instance, can use an OPML sitemap as the blogroll to offer additional navigation into the main site.

The official home of the OPML format is available at OPML.org.  OPML is of questionable value, but the OPML 2.0 specification about to be released.  For this reason, we offer it in the spirit of more can't hurt.

Create an HTML Sitemap

HTML site maps are the most reliable format and are spidered by every search engines' crawler.  HTML sitemaps are the most likely for people to use when they visit your site.  There are problems with Google and the other engines when more than 100 links are listed on a single page
html site maps
Sitemap Auto Update allows you to keep the number of links per page below the Google maximum by producing multiple pages that are interlinked.  Simply because they are easier to read, Yahoo accept RSS site maps.  The RSS feeds that generated by Sitemap Auto Update defaults to 50 links per page, which makes reading easier.

We also allow you to use your meta descriptions as a short paragraph below each page link.  This makes it easier for viewers to see what a page is about.  But of even greater significance, it will show you those pages you have forgotten to update the description.  This is important as Google does not like finding the same description on each page and will penalize your ranking for it.

 


The Sitemap Auto Update Professional Version offers everything in the Free Version, but also offers the following additional features and benefits:

bullet

Create an RSS Sitemap

Both Google and Yahoo! accept RSS site maps.  The RSS feeds that generated by Sitemap Auto Update are fully valid RSS qualified and designed to work well with RSS readers.  Most RSS readers will report your newest pages at the top if the RSS feed is correctly structured. 
rss site maps
This means that your latest articles and newest product pages will always be listed first when your visitors subscribe to your RSS feed. 

If you are not familiar with the RSS Protocol then click on the link and learn more.  This is a critical way to get your content out there and to get good links back to your site.  The code that we produce is fully RSS 2.0 compliant and you can easily validate our code at feedvalidator.org.

bullet

Create an ROR Sitemap

ROR is a rapidly growing XML format for describing any object of your content in a generic fashion, so any search engine can better understand that content.  Think of your ROR sitemap as a powerful structured feed for describing all your objects to the search engines: products, services, reviews, discounts, images, events, schedule, podcasts, anything you want. 

ROR is much more than Google Sitemaps in some respects in that it does not only help describe your sitemap, but also products, services, feeds, articles, reviews, archives, and many more objects.  Also, ROR Sitemaps are automatically readable by all search engines, including Google.

 

bullet

Spider Scheduling

Specify exactly how often you want your site to be spidered by the Sitemap Auto Update Professional Version bot.  This can be Monthly, Weekly, Daily, 12 Hours, 6 Hours or even Hourly for sites that change very quickly.

Tailor your site's spidering according to your needs.  For instance, you may publish a weekly newsletter, so you would choose Weekly.  A daily blog would call for Daily scheduling, etc.

It is very important to match your spidering schedule with the update frequency.  Setting the frequency too fast, i.e., Hourly for a site that changes once or twice a month is bad.  Google will penalize you for this, severely, because they consider it spamming their bots and they don't like that at all.  Schedule responsibly.

 

 

bullet

Broken Link Checker

The link checker reads an HTML or XHTML document and extracts a list of anchors and links.

It can start checking from any URL, from the index, or from well down into the site, or a single page.

This tool is downloaded and runs from your desktop.  It lets you quickly find every broken link so you can easily make corrections.

bullet

HTML Validator

This is an online service of w3.org, which is THE authority for HTML and XHTML code, they are the best - and the strictest to pass.  You must first decide on the standard you want your page to be compared to.  Then just keep validating and changing to the standard until you get it right.

NOTE:  This can be a frustrating, but a good learning experience.  If you are using something like FrontPage, you will NEVER pass their standards.  But that does not mean you page is bad, not at all.  Do the best you can and then apply the changes you made to all your pages.  Enjoy, be patient.

bullet

Site Search Box

The SitemapAutoUpdate Site Search is a custom search based on the Sitemap previously created.  It searches the keywords in the description of the pages listed in the sitemap.

bullet

Search Engine Visit Logger

This function will email and/or log every time a search engine crawls your site.

bullet

Page Rank Search

The PageRank Search tool allows you to search Google using any keyword(s) you wish.  It will then return, in order of Google relevance, the sites associated with those keywords. Each result displays a graphical bar with the PageRank of that particular site.  

bullet

Page Rank Lookup

You can check the PageRank for up to 100 websites by using the Google Toolbar (represented by a horizontal blue and grey bar).  This tool streamlines the process. Enter a list of URL's and it will return the PageRank value for each one.

About PageRank - Google PageRank is a general representation of a website's popularity; it is primarily based on link popularity.  Websites with a high PageRank value will tend to have more traffic and higher positions in search engines (although many other factors are also taken into consideration
.

bullet

Page Keyword Density Lookup

Keyword density is important because search engines use this information to categorize a site's theme, and to determine which terms the site is relevant to.  The perfect keyword density will help achieve higher search engine positions. 

Keyword density needs to be balanced correctly (too low and you will not get the optimum benefit, too high and your page might get flagged for “keyword spamming”).

This tool will analyze your chosen URL and return a table of keyword density values for one, two, or three word key terms.  In an attempt to mimic the function of search engine spiders, it will filter out common stop words (since these will probably be ignored by search engines). 

It will avoid filtering out stop words in the middle of a term, however (for example: “designing with CSS” would go through, even though “with” is a stop word).

bullet Page StatCounter
