XML Sitemaps

[Publisher-For-You]

I'm finally catching on to XML sitemaps, and recently coded
a script that will create and update one for my site.

I included the path to this site map in my robots.txt file,
in hopes all the engines will find it.

It's only been 3-4 days, and so far it looks like none of
the engines have found the site map, which isn't surprising
I guess.

I've linked to the site from some of my other sites, some of
which have PR 3-4.

Do you care to share your experience with XML Sitemaps? Did
you find that once the search engine bots find your sitemap,
all your pages get indexed? I've got 8,000+ pages, most of
which can't be reached via clickable links, so it will be
interesting to see if the sitemap does the job of getting
them indexed.

Any observations most welcome, thanks.

Did you submit your sitemap to search engines?
