SEO Tip - Sitemap Ping Services
Google, Yahoo, Microsoft & Ask.com now support Sitemaps Autodiscovery. So how
do you ping these services to notify the search engines of an update to your
Sitemaps, if you do not want to wait for the SEs to find it themselves?
Simple, you can submit your sitemap.xml file to the SEs manually. We recommended
that you do it no more than once a day or after the completion of a
major site update.

Notes
- If you don't have a sitemap, use the sitemap creator to create one.
- Google requires you to submit your sitemap to them first - then you can ping them through this service. Yahoo, Moreover, & Ask.com allow the ping to act as a submission as well.
- This is not the same as a 'blog ping' - although your blog can have a sitemap file.
- It is not recommended to submit/ping more than once per day
- Sitemap submission/pings are not meant to and will most likely not boost your PageRank with any of the search engines - sitemaps are only meant to allow crawlers to get to your content more effectively.

Many of the SEs participant in the "Sitemaps via robots.txt protocol" . We look forward to our collaboration with Google, Yahoo!, Microsoft and others in furthering important initiatives that make search easier for webmasters and more powerful for users.
