Heard before sitemap? Did you understand the important of sitemap? and what the role of sitemap?

Long time ago, when I visit some cooperate website, I always see a “sitemap” link, in that page, it show all the website link, that time I was thinking does the webmaster create sitemap for visitor to view the summary of the website? I also thinking how come webmaster do double job, since the index (main page) already can found all the link such as “Product”, “Service”, “Company info” bla bla bla, and how come sitemap show it again…

I get this theory over some SEO consultant, they said Search Engine’s (SE) Spider or bot visit a website, can not crawl the website more then 3 level/ 3 page deep. Meaning that those content that I post week ago, or month ago or even year ago are unable to crawl from the spider, but sitemap show all the link, the spider can crawl all the page.

Seriously after I create a sitemap for iCalvyn.com, and submit my sitemap to google, the traffic increase time to time.

I found that google spider come to my website 3 time a month (March08 statistic) and my google traffic raise from 50/days to 100/days on that month.

Now, google come to crawl my website when I make a new post. Traffic raise to 600-800/days (November08 statistic)

If you are using wordpress, you require to use plugin to create sitemap, I will talk about how to create sitemap at joomla and other system soon, lets start with wordpress 1st.

Thank for those participate in my “Domain and Hosting Sponsorshop Program” which organize at beginning of the year, celebrating iCalvyn.com 1 year anniversary.

This program is not a blog contest, unlike some blogger out there, organize a blog contest, giving out ipod, mp3 player… bla bla bla, but at the end, only their friend get the benefit, other blogger who participate and provide them a review and link back, also banner appear at their blog are actually doing “CHARITY”, to promoting the blog without get any benefit.

What the special for this program are, all participant get what they deserve, every one get the prise, as long fulfill the requirement.

A lot blogger was curious, and confuse on this program, this program did not contain any hidden term and condition actually, blogger just require to blog about this sponsorship program, show their reader about this great offer. That all~ … After getting the domain and hosting, they just require to put a Sponsor link and Sponsor banner at their blog during the sponsorship period (at least 1 year). Bloggers have the freedom to use the blog to make money online as long not use in illegal matter. Also, the content and domain ownership are belong to the participant (Blogger) , not by the sponsor.

During this offer, there are about 35 to 40 participant apply this offer, approval rate so far is 99%, but unfortunately, there are some blogger who get the offer, but did not show them self after I register the domain name they apply, this make a big loss to me for the domain registration fees.

This offer will be finish at end of DEC 2008, and soon, a new sponsorship program will be coming soon to celebrate iCalvyn.com 2nd anniversary on March 2009. Hope those blogger intent to get a own domain, and experience on real web environment will get benefit from this sponsorship program. Feel free to pre-apply one for your self
