Help
customers find
your
business
online
by
giving Googlebots
directions
to
your
website.
Googlebots
(a.k.a.
spiders)
are
always
crawling
websites,
finding
keywords
and
indexing
pages.
If
your
website
is
on
the
Internet,
they
will
eventually
find
and
index
it,
so
it
will
be
included
in
Google's
search
results
for
your
keywords.
But
sometimes
spiders
miss
a
page.
To
make
sure
your
entire
site
is
indexed,
create
an
XML
site
map
and
submit
it
directly
to
the
search
engines
—
it's
like
a
GPS device
leading
spiders
to
every
page
of
your
website.
You
can
then
be
certain
your
site
is
indexed,
and
you
may
even
get
a
better
ranking
in
the
results.
Need
help
in
developing
a
site map? No problem. Go to
www.xml-sitemaps.com. In four easy steps you can create one and submit it to Google. All for free! For
more
information
on

maps,
