Look above that. That is your title tag. With RAGE Sitemap Automator you don't have to create a new sitemap everytime but it is recommended that you create a new one when new pages are added to your site. @julie: that is your url path.

When I change the name of my page from BLOG to anything else, I can’t get it to load without an error. Am I missing something? I want to put the name of my page or my own name there instead. jdsanc Says: Your comment is awaiting moderation.

That is our sitemap product that we offer and we built it to work with iWeb. Currently it is one of the only XML sitemap tools available that work with iWeb. Its up to you however. You didn't change all of your title tags for all of your pages. Your main page is just your URL. An XML sitemap won't necessarily bring you to the first page of Google. Lots of factors are involved in this, but it certainly helps. It also depends on what keywords you are talking about in this situation. RAGE Sitemap Automator will easily create an XML sitemap file for you so if you would like to create, and I recommend you do, you can certainly use it. @adam: Feel free to put a link on your site to ours at http://www.ragesw.com.

If you do, when you click a link within iWeb you will be taken to that page. Otherwise if it is not checked and you click a link you will be able edit that link. So do NOT select it. Also, just because you apply what we discussed in this blog post does not mean you will instantly appear at the top of search engines for the keywords you want. It takes time and there are other things you must do as well (one being creating an XML sitemap). I suggest you read this blog and our free seo guide at http://www.ragesw.com/downloads/blog/rage_seo_guide.zip for more ideas. But remember, there is no magic solution, you have to be better than all other websites that rank above you. I looked at your title tags and they are still the same as before. You do not have any keywords in there. Changing your title tags does not mean you shouldn't have an XML sitemap file. You need to do everything you can for high rankings. You can create your sitemap file with <a href="http://www.ragesw.com/products/googlesitemap.html" rel="nofollow">RAGE Sitemap Automator</a>. You don’t need to check the ‘make hyperlinks active’.
