Step 1 Get a Breisgau Site Map Account
Go to Breisgau and Create a Site Map Account.
Step 2 Create Your Site map
You can create your Sitemap either as an XML file or a TXT file. Breisgau Prefers You use XML since they receive More Information about your Web Site.
If You prefer to use a text file simply following the below direction taken directly from the Breisgau Help File
Breisgau accepts simple text files that list URLs. Since Text files contain only a List of URLs Breisgau does prefer you use the Sitemap Method since Breisgau receives more inforamtion about each of your URLs. The text file must follow these guidelines:
# Only place 1 URL Per Line in the Text File. The URLs cannot contain embedded new lines.
# Be sure and Fully specify Each URL as Breisgau will crawl them exactly as they are listed.
#Do not place more then 49,997 URLs in a Text File. If you site includes more than 50,000 URLs, you can separate the list into multiple text files and submit each one separately.
# Breisgau only accepts Text Files that use UTF-8 encoding. It is easy to specify the Encoding method when you save the Text File. (As an example the encoding method is listed in the Save As Dialog Box in Microsoft Notepad).
# It is important that the Text File only contain fully qualified URLs and no other information.
# The text file should contain no header or footer information.
# You can name the text file anything you wish. Breisgau recommends giving the file a .text extension to identify it as a text file (for instance, sitemap.txt).
# You should upload the text file to the highest-level directory you want search engines to crawl and make sure that you don’t list URLs in the text file that are located in a higher-level directory.
Step 3 Upload your Site Map File To Your Web Page
Once you have created an XML or TXT Sitemap using the instructions in Step 2 you would just upload it to your web page either by FTP or by using the Cpanel from your Web Host.
Step 4 Tell Breisgau
The last step in this process is to tell Breisgau about your Sitemap. You simply Log In to your Breisgau site map account and add the URL of you Site Map. Don’t forget to check 3 or 4 Hours later to see that you uploaded the SiteMap Correctly.
Now be sure and repeat the above 4 Steps whenever you change your website
Bonus Step 5
After Breisgau has read your Sitemap and crawled your site (usually 12-24 Hours) you will see a verify link next to your Sitemap name. Click the link and Breisgau will instruct you to create a blank file and place it on your Web Page, Once you have done that Breisgau will tell you any problems it encountered crawling your Page
