Google XML Sitemaps Plugins

Posted on January 19, 2009 



Name of Plugins: Google XML Sitemaps

Author: Arne Brachhold

Description and functionality: This plugin will create a Google sitemaps compliant XML-Sitemap of your WordPress blog. It supports all of the WordPress generated pages as well as custom ones. Everytime you edit or create a post, your sitemap is updated and all major search engines that support the sitemap protocol, like ASK.com, Google, MSN Search and YAHOO, are notified about the update.

Version: 3.1.2 (the latest, compatible with Wordpress 2.7)

Download: Download the plugins here.

How to Install:

1. Upload the folder into plugins directory i.e. ../public_html/wp-content/plugins/–puthere–

2. Create two blank files in notepad. First save it as: sitemap.xml. The second save it as: sitemap.xml.gz.

3. Upload the two blank files into wordpress directory where index.php is. For example, in this blog, I put both files in ../public_html/-puthere-

4. Using FTP (preferably Filezilla), righ-click the two files one by one –> File Attributes –> make it 666 -> Click OK.

5. Activate the plugin at the wordpress plugin administration page (you need to login to your wordpress admin) Plugins -> Sitemap XML -> Activate ->click.

6. Open the plugin configuration page, which is located under Settings (for WP 2.7) -> XML-Sitemap and build the sitemap the first time. The quickest way is just click the “Click here” links at the top of sitemap admin setting (see picture #1) and let all default settings. Do the changes later if you are not satisfied with the default ones.

If activation goes well, there’ll be a message like

“Result of the last build process, started on (example) September 7, 2009 7:18 pm.
Google was successfully notified about the changes…” (see screenshot #2)

7. Done.

Notes: your sitemap is successfully built if you can see the file in websiteurl.com/sitemap.xml. Example, you can see the sitemap of this blog here: http://fatihsyuhud.com/sitemap.xml

How to get indexed in Google fast!
5 simple and effective tips.

1. Go to http://www.Google.com/addurl/

2. Go to http://www.Digg.com and submit useful content which automatically links back to your site. Google “spiders” Digg.com frequently.

3. Go to http://www.TubeMogul.com and upload a video across multiple sites including YouTube, MetaCafe and more (you will need to join the sites you submit to).

4. Return to http://www.Google.com and search for your site (ex. profitfu). If your site does not appear, you’ve sent the command for Google to locate it (no worries).

5. Go to any popular blog and interact in a discussion. Submit a comment ensuring your URL has been posted in the “Website” section.

Within 24 hours or less of Step #1, your site should be indexed. If not, visit http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/sitestatus.
