I guess it’s time to invest in understanding sitemaps better. “Whack” what
was that that hit me upside the head? 

Google,
Yahoo, Microsoft adopt same Web index tool - Sitemaps

Quick news from today (thanks to Blaine for the tip):

ìSearch engine rivals Google, Yahoo and Microsoft are teaming up to make it
easier for Web site owners to make sure their sites get included in the Web
indexes, the companies are expected to announce Thursday.

The companies are adopting Googleís Sitemaps protocol, available since June
2005, that allows Web site owners to manually feed their pages to Google and to
check whether their sites have been crawled. Web site owners have had to follow
similar processes at each of the other major search engines separately.î
