There are several sites out there that will generate an editable XML sitemap for you but even then you will still need to be able to replace the current one with a new one in the root of your site. - Jeff Jones Thu, 26 Mar 2009 05:30:03 +0100 http://lyrishq.lyris.com/index.php/SEO/SEM/Improve-Site-SEO-With-Four-Quick-Wins.html#pc_177 Hi there, ...I have submitted xml sitemaps for my sites http://www.orangedwarf.com and http://www.ckbody.com but these are automatically generated by the SW of my site. How can I add some information, as suggested, to indicate the frequency of changes? Appreciate support! Thanks, orangedwarf - Orangedwarf Tue, 24 Mar 2009 17:15:27 +0100 http://lyrishq.lyris.com/index.php/SEO/SEM/Improve-Site-SEO-With-Four-Quick-Wins.html#pc_175 Hi Mike, The purpose of using XML sitemaps ends up being less for increasing frequency of spidering and more for "guiding" the spiders to the content you feel is most important on your site and how you feel that content should be perceived/indexed. We've definitely found that clients who have used XML sitemaps and submitted to the proper channels (Google Webmaster tools etc.) do see an increase in visibility for what they feel are important pages while also devaluing certain pages that they feel were less important. Hope this helps.

I've never noticed any increase in spidering etc by having one up - has anyone found them to make a noticeable difference to performance in the SERPs? - Mike Tue, 24 Mar 2009 05:03:21 +0100
