Add Website to Google

A site map (or sitemap) is a list of pages of a web site accessible to crawlers or users. It can be either a document in any form used as a planning tool for Web design, or aWeb page that lists the pages on a Web site, typically organized in hierarchical fashion.

Search engines use sitemap data to analyze website structure and discover the pages which in normal situation may takes months together.

A simple sitemap XML file looks like following :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
  <url>
    <loc>http://saurabhsays.com/</loc>
    <lastmod>2012-09-22</lastmod>
    <changefreq>monthly</changefreq>
    <priority>0.8</priority>
  </url>
  <url>
    <loc>http://saurabhsays.com/add-website-google/</loc>
    <lastmod>2012-09-22</lastmod>
    <changefreq>monthly</changefreq>
    <priority>0.5</priority>
  </url>
.... and other <url> blocks...
</urlset>

Each sitemap has <urlset> block followed by <url> blocks. Each <url> block consists of location<loc>, last modification date <lastmod>, change frequency of the page <changefreq> and priority of the page <priority>. You can use online service like
http://saurabhsays.com/xml-site-map-sitemap-xml/
to generate sitemap.

Once you have created sitemap, place the xml sitemap on your website root folder. For example it should be accessible at http://saurabhsays.com/sitemap.xml. Now subscribe to http://webmaster.google.com and http://webmaster.bing.com and add sitemap of your site.

Try to submit 5,000 URLs in one sitemap and make multiple sitemaps if you have more than 5000 URLs.
