EBONews Updates - Friday, June 24, 2005

- New quick method for getting listed in Google.
- Free Advertising
- Advertising and Promotion ideas

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to all the new subscribers that came aboard!
As you may know, EBONews is new and it's great to
see so many of my website visitors signing up to receive
it. Even though the first two issues were delivered on
a Friday, there will not be a set date for delivery.

You will only receive an issue when something comes
along that I feel will help your online business. But I will
never bombard you with many issues a week. There may
even be a week or so that you will not hear from me at all.

Have you heard about the new method of getting your
site or new pages of your existing site listed in Google
very quickly, even within one day?

It's about using sitemaps. Probably many of you with
websites probably already have sitemaps, but now
Google wants them in XML format.

If you don't know how to make a sitemap in XML format,
Google provides a f.r.e.e Sitemap Generator that you can
download.

Here is where to learn more about Google Sitemaps
http://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps
And the link to download the generator
http://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps/docs/en/sitemap-generator.html

Google Sitemaps is for all web site owners, from those
with a single web page to companies with millions of
ever-changing pages.

This looks like it is going to big for getting listed and
staying listed in Google. So you might want to create
an XML sitemap for your site as soon as possible.

I decided to do that today, however when trying to
download the Google sitemap generator, I was having
problems no matter which mirror site I used. Perhaps
everybody is trying to get it and the download sites
are all busy.

I was looking at Google's instructions on using the
software and it seems sort of complicated. But I usually
figure this stuff out by being patient and following instructions
step by step. Then I received some ezines about a new
software program that creates the XML sitemaps in a
few easy steps. However, it was quite expensive and
the price is going to almost double soon.

After that I received Paul Myers "TalkBiz News"
ezine http://www.talkbiznews.com and he said that
he got an email from Dave MacGregor that included
a list of 7 different programs or services that will
do this for you for free. (One was Google's so
I have listed the 6 others here.)

So, I am off to check these other generators out as I can't
seem to get Google's generator software downloaded today.

Before I go, a new free advertising site has been added
to The Free Classifieds Directory at
