Sitelinks and Sitemaps
As search engines crawl your website to index your webpages , they follow links that are embedded in each of your pages. In most cases, very small websites are easily crawled and the search engines are able to find each and every page that you have published. The problem comes in when you have a large number of webpages, webpages that are not well linked internally, and pages that are hidden behind username and password fields.
In order to assure you that each and every webpage on your website is indexed and discovered by the search engines, and in order to have the search engines index your webpages faster, good internal linking is essential, and a sitemap is of paramount importance.
A well created sitemap, that follows the industry standards, can assist in submitting your entire website to all the major search engines, and your website will be indexed faster than waiting for the search engines to discover you.
In addition to the creation of a sitemap indexing in the major search engines, there are many website directories that can drive large amounts of traffic to your website, if your website has been submitted to each of them. This is however a manual process and these website directories do not crawl webpages of their own accord. Each website has to be submitted manually and in most cases the websites need to be approved before they will be added to the database of the directories.
Not only can we create a sitemap that follows industry standards and submit it to each of the major search engines for your website to be correctly indexed, we are also able to manually submit your website to each of the major website directories.
