Sitemap file formats supported by Google

Part of what makes the web so interesting is that there are so many different kinds of content out there. Do you use videos on your website? If so, send us a Video Sitemap file so that we can send you visitors to those videos! Do you host source-code samples? Submit a Code Search Sitemap! Here are the various kinds of Sitemap files that Google supports at the moment:

• XML Sitemap files for web pages – Use these files to submit all of your web pages (this is the preferred format for web pages). While not all search engines may support the Sitemap types listed below, the XML Sitemap for web pages is supported by all search engines of sitemaps.org.
• RSS 2.0 and Atom 1.0 feeds for web pages – Many blogs create these automatically.
• Text files with web page URLs – If you can’t automatically create one of the above formats, you can create a text file with your URLs in it.
• XML Sitemap files for Video Search – Videos on your website can be indexed and made available for Google Video Search.
• Media-RSS feeds for Video Search – mRSS feeds are used by various other systems, we can use these for Google Video Search as well.
• XML Sitemap files for Google Code Search – If you make programming samples or code available to your users, you can submit these for Google Code Search.
• XML Sitemap files for mobile web pages – Using this kind of format allows us to recognize content that has been optimized for mobile devices (please note that there was recently a small change in the format).
• XML Sitemap files for geo-data – If you have geographic data on your website in the form of KML or GeoRSS files, please let us know about these files.
• XML Sitemap files for News – News websites can submit their news content in this special Sitemap format (please note that you must first register with Google News before these files are processed).

If you have multiple Sitemap files that you wish to submit to Google, you can include up to 1,000 of these in an XML Sitemap Index file. If you have more than 1,000 Sitemap files, you can just submit multiple Sitemap Index files – we’d love to take them all!

Keyword rich Product related domains For example, dailyseoblog.com, dailytips.com etc. These domains clearly give you an idea of what the website is all about from the domain name itself. They are keyword rich and often rank well for the keywords in the domain if the site is optimized well. These websites usually fare well with most search engines.

Brand named Domain names Yahoo for instance or Google is a brand name. The Name Google itself will not tell you what it is. But who doesn’t know Google and yahoo. Brand name domains are good once you are into brand marketing. It’s often a bad idea if you are a start up Website Company to invest into a brand name domain. It usually costs a lot for brand marketing and its altogether a different ball game.

When choosing a domain name, make it as keyword rich as possible and also as short as possible. A domain name like makemoneyontheinternet.com is a great domain name but considering its length, it could just be bad. Limit your domain name length to as little as 10 to 12 characters. This would make your domain look good with the search engines. Also take enough time to choose your domain extension. If your domain is a .com it will have more chances to be found. .com domains are more preferred and will benefit you on the long run.

• Know Your Audience First and have Targeted Domain name
• Good URL permalink structure with targeted keyword :Eg: http://www.kiran.in/2008/06/achieving-organic-seo/
• Write clear, descriptive page Titles
• Meta Tags and Description
• Interlink your Site Article with another similar article
• Avoid Duplicate Content
• Dont use to many Links
• Update regularly
• Submit your article to social Bookmarking site Eg: digg.com
• For images, use ALT attributes to describe appropriately what the image is about

Well, meaningful organic search traffic can be achieved by attaining high placement in search engine results pages (SERPs) mainly google. And with many easy ways to improve your placement, you should start doing so today. Below are some easy tips to help you take advantage of organic search.

Choose Relevant and Highly Specialized Keywords
The internet is a large place, with millions of sites built for every type of audience and marketing every type of product. As a result, if you want your site to be found, it is in your best interests to use very descriptive keywords. For example, if your website sells Computer item, it is probably not a good idea to list Computer as one of your keywords. Instead, it might be better to use adjectives that you think web surfers might use to find you, such as low-priced computer,Laptops, Monitors, Motherboard, etc…

Include Keywords in Your URLs
Another easy way to highlight your keywords is to use them in your urls. Simply name each page using descriptive keywords. To use the shoe example, it would be helpful to name your pages in this manner:

• http://www.kiran.in/2008/06/achieving-organic-seo/
• http://www.kiran.in/2008/08/wordpress-261-released/
• http://www.kiran.in/2008/08/download-free-beijing-olympics-2008-wallpaper/

While receiving traffic via organic search can give you high quality traffic at no cost, organic search traffic is not guaranteed
