Submitting your sitemap to all search engines easily

By Mert on Apr 24, 2008 in SEO Resources

An easy way to submit your sitemaps to all search engines is putting a simple code in your robots.txt file. You can also create a robots.txt file if you do not have one in your domain folder with FTP access.

The code you have to enter is

Sitemap: http://www.example.com/sitemap.xml

(of course the sitemap can be in any file format and of course you have to replace example.com with your website name.)

This is an acceptable practice that all major search engines accept. It has been just over a year since the top 3 search engines adopted this and I am sure the others followed their example.

  • Why I do what i do

    I have found my truly calling at last. After reading the below, you will think really? Yes, I have... You know why? Because I can do every industry with SEO without ever getting bored of it. I have been involved with a lot of things in life, always a workaholic, never really satisfied until I met the search engines. I have done aluminum roofing for factories (teenage years), I have been a new home construction superintendent. I have worked as a bank manager. I have dealt with automation and security technology consulting. I was involved in startups for hotel wireless internet (when wireless was a big deal). I have an MBA in marketing. I have worked with so many industries it is not even funny. Why do I write about real estate SEO because I am a partner of a family Chicago real estate agency. Do not take me wrong, I am not a "Real Estate" SEO. I have worked with so many clients from steroids to universities, to apparel stores, to hospitals to hedge funds and lawyers. I love being an SEO. No one customer is ever the same. By the way, we are also passionate about Chicago Cerebral palsy issues
