Importance of Indexing Your Site
Search engines won’t know your pages exist, if you don’t tell them. Therefore, it is important that you let them know your website is available. This process is called indexing, and it can be argued that this is the most important aspect of your web presence. Afterall, if search engines don’t know your site or various pages of your site exist, then how do you expect search engines to know to show your website in search results?
So how do you submit your site and all of it’s content to search engines? This process is done using a sitemap. There are various tools that you can utilize for this process, if you don’t feel comfortable doing it yourself. XML Sitemaps, Site Map Builder, and ROR Web’s ROR Sitemap Builder are great tools to utilize. If your website is built using the Joomla Content Management System, then I absolutely cannot recommend a better tool for this then JCrawler. With JCrawler, one simple click and you can build your sitemap and another click will submit your sitemap to the top 5 search engines automatically!
