Google Webmaster Tools

MaxWiki allows you to send a RSS feed to Google so that your site will be indexed. Here are the steps to do this:

  1. Signup for a Google Webmasters Tools account
  2. Add your site
  3. Select Verify -> Add a meta tag
  4. Copy (Ctrl-C) the content string. That is, if it shows: <meta name="verify-v1" content="xyzzy" />
    The content string is: xyzzy
  5. Go to your MaxWiki site, Admin -> Configuration -> Main
  6. In the “Google Sitemap Verification” field, paste (Ctrl-V) the content string and select the Update button
  7. Then expire the cache using Admin -> Configuration -> Expire Cache
  8. Go back to Google Webmasters Tools and click “Verify”
  9. After it has verified correctly, click on Sitemaps -> Add a Sitemap -> Add General Web Sitemap
  10. Enter “rss_with_headlines?limit=0”

That is it! Now Google will have a sitemap of your MaxWiki site and this will help Google index it.
