The three major search engines Google, Yahoo and Microsoft have all agreed to standardize on the Google Sitemaps XML protocol, enabling webmasters to submit the content on their sites to one location.
Previously, webmasters would have to triplicate
their efforts and submit their sitemaps to each search engine for
indexing separately. Now, site directors can create one XML sitemap for
a site and submit it to Google Sitemaps, which has been open sourced
and freely available since mid 2005.
The idea of a sitemap is to optimize a site so that search engines can
easily find content when they regularly crawl the net looking for
content to index. {moscomment}
