Standard Site Map Protocol

Techcrunch reports today on an encouraging act of collaboration between Google, Yahoo and Microsoft.

They have just announced that they will all begin using the same Sitemaps protocol to index sites around the web. Now based at Sitemaps.org, the system instructs web masters on how to install an XML file on their servers that all three engines can use to track updates to pages. This should make it easier to get your pages indexed in a simple and standardised way.

People who use Google Sitemaps don’t need to change anything, those maps will now be indexed by Yahoo and Microsoft.
