iGooMap 2.1 Build 153

iGooMap helps you automatically create XML Sitemaps conforming to the Sitemap protocol, upload them to your server and notify all search engines supporting sitemaps.

iGooMap will help you to improve your site's visibility in search results and might even help you to diagnose problems.

The Sitemap protocol is an established standard to inform major search engines like Google about pages on your site available for crawling, how often each page will usually change and how important each page is, relative to other pages on your site.

Nowadays, having a Sitemap is an important factor of search engine optimization. It is usually the only up-to-date page where all of your pages are listed in one place.

By using a Sitemap, you will automatically push all your pages to the search engines to get crawled more efficiently and in a more timely fashion.
