Recently Google was adding many useful stuff to their existing products they provide, as this is happening, Google has now introduced a new tool in the sitemap (Google Webmaster Tool) to exclude the URLs from our website which we think as secured or unwanted to get into Google's cache.
This particular tool will be helpful in eliminating all the important URLs from getting indexed by the Google's spider.
Refer the below screen-shot,
I think this is one among the cool features from Google.
Hope all had a great week end, but… not for me :(Labels: Google Update
I just wanted to add about the new features that were added to the sitemap protocol. I was busy in some other work so I can't do regular blog posting. Here are few updates of sitemap.
Recently, all the 3 search giants accepted for a common protocol for sitemap (www.sitemap.org) and now it was enhanced with the following features.
Sitemap Protocol in 18 Languages:
Sitemap protocol was now published with 18 languages. This will help all of them to understand the protocol in their own language and enhance their sitemap to get good output from it.
Informing the search engines about the sitemap:
Most of the search engines use robots.txt file, so it is easy for you to tell where the sitemap is live in your website. Just add the sitemap link to the robots.txt file as shown below,
Sitemap: http://www.sampleurl.com/sitemap.xml
Ask.com now supports the common sitemap protocol:
Previously only Google, Yahoo and MSN accepted the common sitemap protocol. Now ASK joins the team. You can submit your sitemap in ask.com with the following URL,
http://submissions.ask.com/ping?sitemap=SitemapUrl
Replace "SitemapUrl" with the exact sitemap URL
