No-Sp@m Internet!

I am very excited to learn that Wordpress.com is going to add in XML sitemap by default to all wordpress.com blogs. This is certainly one of the best news recently for SEO crazy people like me. Please read here for words from the horse’s mouth. XML sitemap for wordpress.com. I am not sure when will this take effect as it is not written, but I suppose it is already implemented? Because I have noticed some great leaps for a couple of my wordpress.com blogs. Yeah! Okay, let me reiterate, having a sitemap is a must nowadays because when the search spiders crawl your site and find the sitemap.xml (or whatever.xml) file, it will run through what you have entered in this file and pick up your message. Next the spider will obediently obey what you have instructed it to do and only crawl through the files that you want it to sniff. In this way, search spiders know what’s in your mind and will only crawl those stuff that you want it indexable. Some people say sitemap.xml won’t help my in rankings, but it certainly helps to make your site files more friendly to the search spiders hence it will come more often.
