SEO Tip - Sitemap Submission Via Robots.Txt File
In March 2008, the "Sitemaps Protocol" was expanded to include the "Autodiscovery
of Sitemaps" using robots.txt to let the SEs supporting the
protocol know where to find your Sitemaps. We subsequently also announced the all client support for
Sitemap cross-submissions using Google Webmaster Tools.
The days of paid submission has ended.
Today, as a standard service, we have married the two, allowing for Sitemap cross-submissions
using robots.txt. This concept presents a common path for your site's submission to Google,
Yahoo, Bing! (MSN) and Ask. Now, most of the second tier SEs are following suit as well.
This is how it's done!
Sitemap Submission Via Robots.Txt File
Add the following dark code to your robots.txt file to automatically submit
your site to all participating SEs.
Robots.txt File Coding Example
# Robots.txt file created by 09/03/2008

# All other robots will spider the domain

Sitemap: http://www.catanich.com/sitemap.xml.gz
Sitemap: http://www.catanich.com/urllist.txt

Design Note
Any blank line in the robots.txt file will cause an error. No blank lines.
