Sitemaps 9.0 Gets Support from 3 Major Search Engines

by

crawling spiderI’m starting to fall in love with the keyphrase coveted trifecta not because it’s the major goal of many SEO webmasters but because it’s simply fun to say. If you have been patiently following this SEO blog, (a big thanks to you and some hugs, too.) I’ve already mentioned something about coveted trifecta in a post regarding off-page SEO beating on-page SEO.

However, I will not be discussing further about this SEO goal of reaching the top of the three major search engine’s SERPS.

But this still has something to do with the three major search engines - Google, Yahoo and MSN AND their synergy in supporting the use of sitemaps.

According to a press release from Google, Google, Yahoo and MSN will be joining forces in supporting Sitemaps 9.0.

“Sitemaps 9.0 is a free and easy way for webmasters to notify search engines about their websites and be indexed more comprehensively and efficiently, resulting in better representation in search indices.”

This is the first joint effort to improve the crawling process of the 3 major search engines. But, a webmaster should be reminded that using Sitemaps 9.0 protocol is not the best way to get into the top of the search results. It is only one
method of facilitating the way of informing the search engines when a site gets updated.

Crawl, er, read the full press release about the unity of the 3 major SEs in using sitemaps.
