Creating And Submitting A Google Sitemap is THE Most Effective Means Of Getting ALL Your Web Pages Spidered And Ultimately Listed In Google's Search Results... Or IS It?
Even though Google has *generously* provided webmasters with a fast, efficient, and relatively foolproof method of submitting their web pages, the entire process leaves a lot to be desired... especially when it comes to making sure that any sitemap you create is EXACTLY what Google wants.
Unless you've been "Lost" on some remote island, you already know how important it is to get Google's attention. And even more importantly, to secure Google's UNDIVIDED attention.
And that's precisely what a Google sitemap does... it takes all of your web pages and places them directly in the path of the infamous Google crawlers. They simply can't be missed.
That accomplishment alone is something to cheer about. After all, the Google crawlers (aka spiders) are no pushovers. Just when you THINK you've got it all figured out, these creepy little buggers go and change direction. Literally!
So how do you make absolutely certain YOUR sitemap is all it can be? That it not only supplies what Google wants but is also capable of bringing you the highest possible long-range benefit?
Like everything else that ultimately determines success, it's all about quality...

Dear Friend,
We all know it...
There's a right way and a wrong way to do just about anything. And most often, we're perfectly aware of one or the other.
Of course, when you're dealing with online marketing issues, it's not always easy to determine if what you're doing is right or wrong.
Take the Google sitemap program for example. Google provides lots of information, lots of instructions, and lots of options. Unfortunately, the major shortcoming is this...
Google only deals in basic information, supplying facts that are directly related to satisfying Google's criteria for creating and submitting your sitemaps.
What isn't addressed - and what matters most to webmasters - is the RIGHT way to handle sitemaps. BEYOND simply creating and submitting them.
Of course, wading through all that basic, and oftentimes confusing, information that Google provides can send the average webmaster racing for the nearest cliff. (I can only assume Einstein-ish techies are the ones who draft these types of "instructions".)
If you somehow do manage to decipher all the how-to's and then "successfully" complete the entire do-this-do-that-then-do-this process... there's no way of knowing if you've done it the right way.
Now, when I talk about the right way, I don't mean the sitemap itself. Or the method by which you submit the sitemap to Google. That's pretty much cut and dried.
What I'm referring to is the BENEFIT that you gain from having created and submitted your sitemap to Google. In other words, the level of success that you achieve as a direct result of using Google sitemaps.

Sitemap Equalizer is just great!
Within minutes I was able to easily create a professional sitemap for Google and verify that my site had no broken links.
Plus, Sitemap Equalizer shows me exactly which pages are indexed by Google and which ones are not. How cool is that?
This will certainly help my rankings and traffic. Well done!

I was shocked the first time I ran Sitemap Equalizer. It showed me that over a 100 gateway pages weren't linked properly and never would have been indexed by search engines!
Not to mention, a bunch of pages happened to be missing keywords or descriptions in their meta tags. Thanks to Sitemap Equalizer, I was able to find and fix this.
Sitemap Equalizer's diagnostic features are awesome for making sure that the search engines find every page on your site...
Combined with how easy it makes getting a site indexed, you've created another great tool for us again!

The Level Of Success You Achieve Is Directly Related To The Time And Effort Invested In The Sitemap Itself - AKA: The "Right" Way
The truth is, there are plenty of programs that can automatically create Google sitemaps. And needless to say, having a program do the work for you is definitely a time-saver.
Let's face it. No one in their right mind would actually prefer to manually list each and every page associated with each and every website.
So I guess that's it. You just grab any one of those programs, create your sitemaps, and submit them to Google.
WRONG!
If you think any one sitemap generator is as good as the next, think again. There's a WHOLE lot more to this than just creating individual files that list all of your website pages.
The bottom line? There's the right way and the wrong way (and remember, when I say right way, I'm talking about the level of success your sitemap ultimately gives you)...
 Wrong: |
Pick a sitemap generator, any generator |
 Right: |
Choose a sitemap program that's geared toward achieving success |
| Wrong: |
Let the Google spider determine whether or not your entire site can be crawled |
| Right: |
Check your entire site prior to submitting your sitemap |
| Wrong: |
Worry about broken links after the Google spider finds them |
| Right: |
Locate and fix any and all broken links ahead of time |
| Wrong: |
Submit your sitemap on faith that you uploaded all your pages |
| Right: |
Know for CERTAIN each and every page has been uploaded to your server |
| Wrong: |
Live with published pages that display the generic "Untitled Document" title |
| Right: |
Verify that every page displays a valuable keyword rich title |
| Wrong: |
Wind up with pages that don't have meta keyword and description tags |
| Right: |
Arrange for meta tags to be in place before your sitemap is submitted |
| Wrong: |
Create ONLY a Google sitemap |
| Right: |
Create a Google, Yahoo, and Static HTML sitemap |
| Wrong: |
Rely entirely on the search engine sitemaps |
| Right: |
Create and publish an HTML version of your sitemap |
As you can see, when it comes to dealing with sitemaps, there's a lot to think about. And a lot of work that goes along with it.
Of course, if your goal is to gain financial success, you'll be more than willing to invest whatever time and effort is necessary. But here's some REALLY good news...
Notice the very first "Right" up above? The one that says you should choose a sitemap program that's geared toward achieving success? Well, there's a program that does just that!
Ok... in all honesty, that type of program didn't already exist. At least, not one that could satisfy all the things I felt were critical to achieving sitemap success.
To accomplish that, you would have to purchase two or three programs and use them collectively. Which meant there would still be a lot of manual work involved.
Being me, I felt that was totally unacceptable. As usual, I wanted something that was virtually automatic in nature. A simple yet powerful sitemap program that could do everything I felt was necessary for success.
And that's what prompted me to create the ultimate sitemap generator!

Jeff, I'm always a fan of your excellent software. But with Sitemap Equalizer, you've truly outdone yourself. You've taken what (for many) has been a complex topic and made it both quick and easy!
I'd always meant to get my Google sitemaps done, but somehow never gotten around to it. Well, with Sitemap Equalizer, I had my new Sitemap completed, uploaded, AND entered into the Google system literally within minutes!
Best of all, your system does the job PROPERLY. It checks your website for fatal errors that Google frowns upon FIRST, and alerts you to all of them. That way, you get your site perfect before you ever submit to Google.
What I also loved was the fact that Sitemap Equalizer creates Yahoo Sitemaps too. And just as easily as the Google ones. Plus, it's excellent the way you can save your projects for later comparison with Google's indexing.
Sitemap Equalizer IS without a doubt the ULTIMATE sitemap tool! Anyone can use it with ease to generate and submit sitemaps to both Google and Yahoo.

Jeff, the first thing I thought to myself when I read about your new Sitemap Equalizer was...
"I can get a Google sitemap generator ANYWHERE... for FREE! Why the heck would I bother paying for one?"
BUT, as a long time fan of your software, and I just knew that there was much more to it... Thank God I went with my gut.
The first time I used it on a 'Live' site, it pulled out ONE HUNDRED TIMES the results of any free version I've used and checked all the links for accuracy, to boot!
I LOVE Google, but anyone serious about SEO knows you can't put all your eggs in one basket. You have to make your site accessible to ALL the major search engines, and now you can... thanks to Sitemap Equalizer.
The words 'sitemap generator' are the only thing your amazing software has in common with any other sitemap related product I've tried... no contest!
Not to mention the Rank Monitor pro software you added as a special bonus. You've seriously OVER delivered on this one, my friend. Thanks!

If You Want Maximum Sitemap Results, You Need The Maximum Tool... Sitemap Equalizer Is Definitely That And A Whole Lot More!
Like I said, I wasn't satisfied with what the other sitemap programs had to offer. Not that there was anything wrong with them. They just didn't have all the features I thought should be contained in one single tool.
With Sitemap Equalizer, you get the ultimate range of sitemap creation benefits. Just open one program to do it all...
- Create proper sitemaps of the highest quality and accuracy with push-button ease.
- Auto-submits your sitemap to Google, Yahoo, MSN, and Ask.com with a single click of your mouse.
- Unique and powerful web spider crawls your entire site beforehand, making absolutely certain there are no "dead ends" where search engine crawlers can get stuck in a loop
- Full and accurate page count guarantees that all links on your website can be followed - if the built-in spider count matches the number of pages on your site, you know that all your pages are accessible.
- Shows you all the pages AND the page titles - a quick scan of the list tells you right away whether or not any pages are missing - allows you to simply upload the ones that are missing (rather than having to upload all the pages because you don't know which ones you missed the first time around)
- An accurate list of URLs and page titles makes it easy to scan the list (either during or after the spidering) in order to quickly locate any missing or generic page titles - so you can replace them with the kind of keyword rich titles the search engines love.
- Advanced readout lets you see at a glance if any meta keyword and description tags have been left out - (prevents pages from being listed with blank or non-existent meta tags).
- Quickly and easily scan through your URLs in order to locate any parameters that will make Google totally ignore them (based on Google's own guidelines).
- Gives you the ability to scan for domain name consistency - since proper sitemaps must pertain to only one subdomain, this also helps prevent possible duplicate content problems in the search engines.
- Shows you exactly which of your pages are indexed by Google and which ones are not.
- Simple refresh lets you know right away when the sitemap you submit to Google kicks in.
- Ensures accuracy by allowing you to create your sitemaps based on three different methods - off a live website, or your FTP directory, or a local folder on your computer.
- Gives you a simple and convenient means for managing item priority and change frequency on your Google sitemap.
- Lets you SAVE your project so you can open it at a later date - if you take the time to define priorities and change frequencies and set it all up exactly how you want this can be a huge time saver from having to start all over every time you add pages
- Allows you to output your sitemap to the correct XML sitemap format used by Google, Yahoo, MSN, and Ask.com, as well as other major engines.
- Allows you to output your sitemap in plain text feed format to engines that don't yet support the XML format.
- Allows you to output your sitemap to a static html template which you can upload as part of your site to ensure that all crawlers have a valid path to all your pages.
That's the beauty of Sitemap Equalizer. Talk about a program that covers all of the bases! And keep in mind...
One of the major drawbacks of any sitemap (whether it's created manually or by using software) is the possibility that some of your web pages will be missed. Thanks to Sitemap Equalizer, that's no longer a concern...
The fact that you have the powerful ability to capture sitemap information from different areas means you wind up with triple the amount of accuracy. Just start with the web spider and then add from your hard drive or FTP. That way, you can be absolutely certain every available page gets mapped!
There's no doubt Sitemap Equalizer is a valuable tool, one that will save you a great deal of time and effort. Even so, what would ANY of my offers be without the infamous and exclusive bonus...
Special BONUS!
Naturally, I made it my mission to see that you received yet another special bonus!
It's called Rank Monitor Pro and here's what it can do for you...
First and foremost, it tracks ANY keyword on MSN, Yahoo, and Google and lets you know its rank. Using visual arrows, it also indicates which way the last change in ranking, PR, or inbound links was for each keyword.
The full details form will show you the page's meta tag details, plus a full history of every rank item that was recorded by the program since it was first used.
Last but certainly not least, it will notify you if the <Title> or <Meta> tags are changed during the history of monitoring. That way, you will have some frame of reference with regard to how changing those tags might effect the ratings for the various keywords.
Trust me, this is one tool you'll be relying on time and time again. And the best part of all is... it's absolutely FREE when you purchase Sitemap Equalizer!

There's no doubt about it. Sitemaps are a tremendous marketing tool.
Submit your sitemap to Google and you'll experience major benefits. Things like having your sitemap automatically updated, being certain your pages will ALL be found, receiving statistics for search terms that your pages are associated with and users click on, and knowing about errors the Google crawler encounters while spidering your site.
And the fact that Google will recheck your sitemap on a regular basis makes the entire process even easier to handle. All you have to do is update your file and Google will know which new pages have been added, WITHOUT you having to resubmit the sitemap!
Of course, there's little or NO benefit if it turns out there are pages that can't be found, links that are broken, page titles that are generic or missing, areas of your site that can't be crawled...
It's time for you to stop taking risk with the sitemaps you create. Using Sitemap Equalizer means you'll not only save time and work, you'll be able to generate the kind of valuable and accurate sitemaps that will help secure your ultimate success.
PLUS... Sitemap Equalizer will NEVER become obsolete because I'm also including FREE software updates!
