Entries tagged with “free” from Search Engine CookBook

Over the past couple of years the major search engine players have granted access to a suite of tools to help webmasters not only submit content to the indices, but also to manage which data is indexed and how it is handled.

Google and then Yahoo adopted sitemap protocols that allow for the automated submission of an entire site's contents

At first the tools on offer were fairly rudimentary, but over time the amount of data has grown and grown.


To make a start you'll need accounts with both Google and Yahoo!

Yahoo has their SiteExplorer, while Google has their Google Webmaster Tools. Sign up and explore them.
