WebPlus X5 - Create a professional website from scratch 6/6

In this final part I show you how to add site properties and keywords, enable sitemaps and robots file, add unique page properties, prevent pages fro mgetting indexed, add Google Analytics, inform search engines of your site and submit sitemaps.

Some of the links I mention in the video

Inform search engines
Tell Google - http://www.google.com/addurl/?continue=/addurl
Tell Bing - http://www.bing.com/webmaster/SubmitSitePage.aspx
Tell DMOZ - http://www.dmoz.org/add.html
Please note: All submissions to dmoz (open directory project) are checked manually by a human and it can take months for your site to be added

Submit your sitemap
Google webmaster - http://www.google.com/webmasters/
Bing - Webmaster - http://www.bing.com/webmaster
Ask.com (Slightly different) - http://submissions.ask.com/ping?sitemap=http%3A//www.the URL of your sitemap here.xml


Bonus

Am i there yet?
To find out if your site is appearing on google/bing/yahoo/ask, in the search box type type site: then the full address of your website

how do I create a`site 2 sell mp3 something similar 2 itunes format

[LivingWandsworth]

@mcdovemusic In WPX5 you can use the e-commerce feature, create a product page, add a 30 sec sample, on purchase they are redirected to a page where they can download. If you want something similar to iTunes then you need to look at a specific app.

@Nixen62 visit w w w . serif .c o m (without the extra spaces) and purchase copy from the site or ring them up and see if they will give you a good deal.

@04ks You need to post this question on the vvvv Serif com forum, along with exact details of who your host is and what you are doing, then someone (even me) will hopefully be able to help you.

Do you recommend setting up a Google Analytics Account for each website you build. I get many requests for websites and I wish I could set up one Google Analytics account and add new sites to it. This is more of a question for Google Analytic and not WebPlus X5 but would love to hear your suggestions.
