Traffic Flow SEO

Google recently announced their free Google Sitemap Generator (Beta). This new tool is a bit different than traditional offerings (free and paid) from third party vendors. Below is a little bit of information available from the site:

Google Sitemap Generator is a tool installed on your web server to generate the Sitemaps automatically. Unlike many other third party Sitemap generation tools, Google Sitemap Generator takes a different approach: it will monitor your web server traffic, and detect updates to your website automatically.

Google Sitemap Generator (Beta) is software that improves the ability of search engines to find the content of your websites. Once you install and configure Google Sitemap Generator on your web server, it analyzes the way that users access content, then builds Sitemap files that contain the URLs that you want search engines to find.

Google Sitemap Generator creates industry-standard Web Sitemaps and automatically submits them to the search engines of your choice. It can also create Sitemaps for Google's Mobile and Code Search services. In the case of Blog Search, Google Sitemap Generator provides analogous services, but rather than creating Sitemap files, Google Sitemaps Generator collects the URLs and periodically pings them to Google.
