Yesterday, I ran my Web Ranking Report this is not to be confused with the Site Ranking Reports we run against keywords. No a Web Ranking Report is about general statistics of your site, pages indexed, domains linked specific measuring factors. I noticed that my pages are not properly reported in all the engines. I realized that my sitmap.xml was not present. Since my site is primarily a wordpress blog I used XML-Site Map to automatically generate the site map. It did not included the tags or the categories but did include all of the static pages.

I have a Google webmaster account and uploaded this site map to the webmaster account so I can verify the crawl rates in the future. I will do this for MSN and Yahoo also. By next months report all the major search engines should be reporting and indexing my pages. A major plus for SEO. Just one more aspect to The SEO Proof which you need to do to your site.
