Google Webmaster Tools - Sitemaps
I have recently been playing around with Google Webmaster Tools and learning a lot about what they can do. One great feature they offer is the ability to upload sitemaps of pages for indexing that their bots might not otherwise find. At tagga, every tagg has its own URL, for example my personal tagg has the URL chris.tagga.com. Google might not find all of our taggs by crawling our site, so I’ve written a function that creates an XML sitemap entry for every tagg. I made our sitemap publicly available, told the google bots where to find it, and added a crontab entry to regenerate our sitemap every night. By doing this, I’m hoping that more of our taggs show up in google search results, leading to more traffic at tagga.com.
