submit site to google webmasters

Once you have verified your site with Google Webmaster tools, Google Sites will auto-generate a sitemap xml file. Your sitemap will be generated at:



  • http://sites.google.com/a/(your domain)/(site name)/system/feeds/sitemap for Google Apps.

  • http://sites.google.com/site/(site name)/system/feeds/sitemap for sites under sites.google.com/site


  • Once these Sitemaps have been created, you can submit them to Google using Webmaster Tools.


    Verify a Google Site with a Web Address Mapping

    1. Sign in to the Google Webmaster Tools (this can be any Google Account, and does not have to be the one you use for your site);
    2. Use the Add Site button and type the URL of the site you want to add - www.tidydns.net for example - in the Enter the URL of a site you'd like to manage box and use the Continue button;
    3. Make sure the Verification method drop-down box is set to Meta tag and copy the meta tag given;
    4. Open a new browser tab or window, and paste in the Google Webmaster Tools verification box on the General tab of the Manage Site page of your site (e.g. http://sites.google.com/a/(domain name eg:tidydns.net)/(site name eg:www)/system/app/pages/admin/settings - but use your domain and site), and use the Save Changes button;
    5. Return to the Google Webmaster Tools and use the Verify button and you should have verified your site.
