Webmaster Tools

Hi FreeToastHost Developers,

I am a member of Minatomirai Toastmasters Club #1012628.

I think that lack of sitemap.xml is a significant issue. I have seen a disadvantage due to lack of sitemap.xml since I added some custom pages on our website. It takes much more time to have new pages indexed by Google without sitemap.xml.

I have run some other websites and my personal blogs. All of them have each sitemap.xml which has successfully worked to have new pages indexed by Google so quickly.

Sending sitemap.xml to Google is really that easy. I don't know any better and easier way than sitemap.xml.

I would really appreciate it if the FreeToastHost Developers could address this issue.

As there are no "pages" in a FTH site and the site is not a multi leveled, a site map has no meaning.

Thank you for your comment. But I am talking about "sitemap.xml" not just a "sitemap". My understanding is that there is the difference between them.

1. sitemap.xml is a tool to notify the search engines like Google and Bing of the website update and modification. It is used not for people but for machines.

2. A sitemap is just a list of pages on the website. It is something like a table of content for people to see.

I agree with you that a sitemap is meaningless. But I still believe sitemap.xml is a significant tool to notify Google of the website update.

1) sitemap.xml is a file that has to be placed in the root of the site and there are no files in the root the FTH

2) since there are no pages the sitemap.xml would only have one entry.

Thank you for your comments again. I understand there are no STATIC pages on FreeToastHost (FTH) and sitemap.xml can be created dynamically on demand.

Content Management Systems (CMS) like Wordpress, Joomla! and other blog services have no STATIC sitemap.xml. Every CMS creates sitemap.xml from ALL visible pages (regardless the directories) on the website dynamically on demand.

My understanding is that FTH is one of the CMSs. So I expect our FreeToastHost could do the same thing as other CMSs do. I have run some websites and personal blogs with several CMSs for many years. If there were no sitemap.xml on each website, how could newly created pages be indexed by Google so soon?

I believe that there are no better and easier ways to notify Google of the website update than sitemap.xml.

Or otherwise could you give me any advice to notify Google of the update on FTH better and easier than sitemap.xml?

There are NO pages in FTH, there place to store a sitemap.xml to reference, there are no subdirectories with content.

Your concept of a site has no meaning with FTH.
