Google News Sitemaps
With the search engine industry expressing a desire for webmasters to employ functional Sitemaps, it’s easy to see how important these documents can be when it comes to being indexed correctly. Now Google, who initially launched the Sitemap program, is offering the same service for those who are already apart of Google News.
That’s right, Google News now has a Sitemap feature.
News of Google’s latest Sitemap offering was released on Google’s Webmaster Blog. The entry reveals the Google News Sitemap informs Google about what articles it’s supposed to be crawling. Users can also access a crawl error log, which will allow them to address previous crawling mistakes.
Because Google News is a time-sensitive entity, the ability to time and date your articles is also included. As indicated, this allows their news content to remain current. These news-related services are only available if your site is already about of the Google News family. If it’s not, you can request your site be included in the festivities.
Currently, the Google News Sitemaps only supports English-language sites. They are currently working to make this feature available for their foreign audience.
Even though google downloads my sitemap daily, it still hasn’t included any of my links for the last two months. Is there a way to add priority to certain pages?
