An Inofficial FAQ on Google Sitemaps

Yesterday I’ve launched the inofficial Google Sitemaps FAQ. It’s not yet complete, but it may be helpful if you’ve questions like

  • Can a Google Sitemap destroy my search engine placements? (No/Nope/Nay/Perhaps/Depends)
  • Can I remove deleted pages in Google’s index via XML Sitemap? (No)
  • Will a Google Sitemap increase my PageRank? (No/Depends)
  • Can I escape the ’sandbox effect’ with a Google Sitemap? (No)
  • What is the best tool to create a Google Sitemap for my Web site? (Read on)
  • How long does it take go get indexed by Google? (Depends)
  • My sitemap from yesterday didn’t result in loads of Google traffic… (Go get a life)
  • What is the answer to Google, Life, the Universe, and Everything? (42)
  • …

I’ve tried to answer questions which Google cannot or will not answer, or where Google would get murdered for any answer other than “42″. Even if the answer is a plain “no”, I’ve provided backgrounds, and solutions. I’m not a content thief, and I hate useless redundancies, so don’t miss out on the official FAQ and the sitemaps blog.

Enjoy, and submit interesting questions here. Your feedback is very much appreciated!
