Hey all!
I recently discovered the google "sitemap" technology. I have submitted a text file to them with 50,000 urls on our site that I would like crawled. The status reads "ok", and when I go into "stats" it just says "we have not found any problems with your file"
I also noticed it seems to be downloaded by google a few times per day as I check in every so often, and it says "downloaded 2 hours ago", and yesterday it said "downloaded 9 hours ago", etc.
The issue is that I do not think the site has been crawled yet.
It is only 2 days now after they first downloaded the file, but I was wondering if anyone knew when this might actually happen (if you have gone through this already, etc).
I am trying not to be impatient, but I would really like to know if this file is successful because if so I have about 800,000 more urls I would like crawled!!
The urls (one per line) read like this:
In addition to this, how can I tell (other than server logs) if the site has been crawled? I saw a post on here where someone was telling another person "your site is not even ranked by google" -How did they know that?
Thanks for any input you can provide!
Dave
