There are many legitimate Search Engine Optimization tips and tricks that help you in optimizing a site but one of those is practically seen to be the best but it is sometimes underestimated . It is the submission of a SiteMap of your site to Google Webmater Tools. A SiteMap is just a map of your site on which you show the structure of your site on a single page. SiteMap is the easiest way to communicate with search engines. In robots.txt you tell search engines which parts of your site to exclude from indexing while in your SiteMap you tell search engines where you’d like them to go. SiteMap for Search Engines is XML format and is different from the ordinary HTML SiteMap for human visitors. Spiders when fail to discover millions of new pages out of trillions of pages out their on WWW, One way to let Spiders discover your pages is to get back-links of higher PageRank. The other way is to submit a SiteMap because it offers the opportunity to inform Search Engines immediately about any changes on your site for example, a newly added Web Page. When you have a sitemap and submit it to the search engines, you rely less on external links that will bring search engines to your site.

July 28, 2008Each element of a Hyperlinked set of documents is assigned a numerical weight based on Google link analysis algorithm which is called Google PageRank. Value of an individual page depends upon uniquely democratic nature of link structure that a page has. Google interprets a link from page X to page Y as a vote, by page X, for page Y. But, Google looks at more than the sheer volume of votes, or links a page receives; it also analyzes the page that casts the vote. Votes cast by pages that are themselves important help to make other pages important. A Google PageRank results from a ballot among all the other pages on WWW about how important a page is. A hyperlink to a page counts as a vote of support. The PageRank of a page is defined recursively and depends on the number and PageRank metric of all pages that link to it as incoming links. In simple words, more incomming links of higher PageRank to a page, greater is the importance of that page for Google. Such a page will be indexed in Google in minutes.
