Sitemap generator's for both XML and HTML sitemaps

You just published your website, but are you finished?
If you have not yet added a sitemap, you may want to consider doing so.

The different type sitemaps serve a distinct purpose, so it is worth your time to do both.

.xml sitemaps are what you would submit to Google, Yahoo, and other search engines. This helps in determining which pages on your site will be included in their indexes, individual page importance, how often the content changes, and more. Once created you simply upload it to your root directory.

.html sitemaps are for the convenience of your website's visitors. It offers them easy one click access to the pages you include.

Here are a couple links to free sitemap generators.

Seal of Approval

2007-08-21T12:09:00.000-07:00

In previous posts I have recommended products, services, or opportunities that I thought needed (or at least would not hurt) to be shared. I have found that not all of the above are created equal. Some actually have no redeeming qualities at all.

Please accept my apologies, I got caught up in the hype.

That being said, I have decided to use the Yukio X 'Seal of Approval' to signify anything that I am truly pleased with and find that I cannot do without.

This is what it looks like...

So my promise is that anything that I give the 'Seal of Approval' to, whether its a product, service, opportunity, or information... paid or free... That it has to have at a minimum at least the same benefit to you the reader, as it does myself.

Thanks,

Yukio X

Directory Susmissions... A Great way to get Your Website's Noticed

2007-07-26T10:08:00.000-07:00

Directory Submission is one of the first two things that I do once I've published a new website. In the past I have always posted to each one individually... that is a very time consuming process. Checkout the benefits of this time saving product that I NOW use after each website launch.

You may or may not know that Website Directory Submission is quickly becoming a very popular and easy way to get quality, one way links to your website.

These kind of links are exactly what the search engines are looking for. The websites with more quality, one way links are typically the sites that rank the highest, period.

With that said, there are several websites directory submission programs on the market. The best and easiest to use is a new program created by Brad Callen, called Directory Submitter.

The software currently contains around 1700 website directories, all free. It is the most straightforward program that we've come across, in that all you need to do is:

1. Input your website details (i.e. title, description, URL, etc.) into the software

2. Click on the directory you want to submit to

And then the program will automatically fill in your website details. Then, you simply click the submit button and your website is instantly submitted to the directory. Then, you can move to the next directory, go through the list, and by the time you're finished you'll have roughly 1500 one way links pointing to your website.

I can't think of an easier way to get links. Of course, if you're going to get links this quickly, it's important to vary your website title (anchor text) every 20-30 links or so, to make things look more natural to the search engines.

You can do this very easily via Directory Submitter when you create your project in the beginning.

The software is constantly being updated and their is an incredible community of users established that all work together to make the software better and better, so you know you're getting great value for the money.

For whatever it is worth this product/service has received the 'Yukio X' Seal of Approval.
