Submit sitemaps to Search Engines

  • Google Webmaster Tools accepts website sitemaps. Login and submit your sitemap. You will need to authenticate your website with Google. You can also track the status whenever you want.
  • Yahoo Site Explorer accepts sites, feeds and sitemaps. It is also important to authenticate the website ownership. Once you login, two options are presented under the authentication section. Choose the one you like - 
    1. Upload a verification file to your site.
    2. Add a META tag to your home page.
