Search Engine Technology - Are you taking full advantage?
August 12th, 2007 at 12:31 am   starstarstarstarstar      

There are two search engine technologies you absolutely must take advantage of if you are serious about marketing your web site.  They are absolutely free.

 

Froogle (renamed Google Product Search) and Google Sitemaps.

 

 

Froogle is a version of Google that focuses on your product catalog.  If you provide an upload of your entire database formatted specifically for Froogle, your products will be indexed exactly how they should.  Froogle will insert every one of your products into the Google database exactly the way you intended. 

 

Google Sitmaps is another technology, if taken advantage of, will assure that every page of your entire web site is visited by the Google search engine.  No more wondering if your entire web site has been spidered and indexed by Google.

 

You will significantly increase your search engine penetration with Froogle and Google Sitemaps.  It's a must have.

 

Why don't more web developers encourge the use of Google Sitemaps and Froogle?  My guess is that the average web site developer does not have the programming skills to automate the delivery of these files. It wouldn't make sense for a web developer to suggest something they cannot provide themselves. 

 

Your Website Forge web site is fully Froogle and Google Sitemaps compatible "out of the box".  This means there is no coding neccessary to utilize these powerful search engine technologies.  It's just a matter of configuration.

 

If you are interested in configuring your web site to use Froogle and/or Google Sitemaps, please contact support@websiteforge.com and we will have one of our search engine specialists help you get it setup.

 

YOU CANNOT AFFORD to omit Google Sitemaps and Froogle from your search engine efforts!  It's a free boost up in the search engines.

Any consideration of implementing the Froogle store connector to the Website Forge arsenal?

That's a great question Jerry.

 

Google recently released an API so we can do that.  We have it on the list!
