Shane, you shouldn't tell people to contact support when support just tells you to goto google. Absolutly no help at all. Thanks

Please not that Google Site Maps is an account you need to set up first with Google. Once you have established the account, we can help you get your site configured for it.

Terry meant "Please note" :)

Basically google provides a "webmaster tool" that will allow you to upload a well formed XML document that can be polled over and over to get updates on what content your site has.

- First you open a google account and there you will have instructions from google.

- Next Google will expect you to have the programming knowledge to provide this special file

THIS IS WHERE WEBSITE FORGE SAVES YOU TIME and MONEY!

- Your Website Forge site already generates this file dynamically. Just requires the proper setup.

I have received spam ads advertising ONE TIME google site maps setups for $600.00 each. This would have to be redone EACH TIME your site changes.

Website Forge does this automatically and each time your site changes.. The sitemap feed to google changes too. So you potentially save thousands of dollars per year.

Hope this clarifies.....

Oh yeah.. And the Benefit.. The BENEFIT is that Google does not have to GUESS what your products and pages are all about. The XML feed describes your site in detail and will assure Google doesn't miss any pages.
