If you're a diligent site owner, you may already have a site map on your web site to help your visitors navigate. There's another kind of site map you will want to add. This article covers the nuts and bolts of creating a Google Sitemap.
A site map should be one of the most important and best maintained pages on your site; it can help visitors to navigate your site effectively and quickly find the information that they are looking for, and it shows your visitors that you care about their surfing experience. A site map is also required to meet W3C accessibility standards. An easy to use and carefully designed site will help to ensure that visitors return to your site instead of getting frustrated and forgetting it.
A site map will also find favor with search engines as it is basically a list of all of the pages in your site. But in addition to your human-readable site map (well, browser-readable at least), there is also another type of Sitemap that you should consider using. This is known as a Google Sitemap and is a way for you to complement your existing site map for humans with something to make finding and indexing your site easier for bots and spiders.
While your human-digestible site map will generally be written in a language easily interpreted and rendered by browsers, a Google Sitemap will be written in a language designed to be understood by the automated trawlers that traverse the web discovering URLs. The language used is based upon the universal language of data transfer, which is XML. It is called the Sitemap Protocol and was created by Google to help facilitate and aid existing URL discovery methods.

Microsoft, Google, and Others Dueling Over DoubleClick?
The rumors first surfaced in the Wall Street Journal, and then spread like wildfire. All of a sudden it looks as if everyone is interested in DoubleClick. Why? All of the proposed suitors seem to have different reasons.
Let’s start by looking at the bride-to-be. DoubleClick is no spring chicken in Internet years; it was founded in 1996. It grew through the 1990s and became practically a household name in online advertising. That was before the dot-com bubble burst, and online ads took a beating. More recently, private equity investors Hellman and Friedman LLC and JMI Equity purchased DoubleClick for $1.1 billion in July 2005. That purchase led to a turnaround of sorts, making the company a lot more attractive.
DoubleClick is now much leaner. It sold off its email marketing service for $90 million. Just a few months ago, it agreed to sell its Abacus data management and analytical unit. Alliance Data Systems, the lucky purchaser, agreed to pony up $435 million for the unit. What is left is a company that is tightly focused on advertising, that Computerworld describes as “one of the largest ad networks in the United States.”

Google Expands Beta for Pay per Action Ads
Alert search engine marketers first noticed the announcement of limited testing in late June 2006, but most of us could only wait impatiently and ponder what it meant. Now that Google has opened things up, we can get a better handle on what’s going on. What is it? It’s pay per action, Google’s newest feature for AdWords and AdSense users.
Pay per action isn’t exactly new; search engine Snap has been doing it for quite some time now (though it recently had to change its model). But Google’s involvement in pay per action advertising marks the first time it’s gone this high profile. Or maybe it doesn’t, if you draw parallels to affiliate marketing (more on that in a bit).
For those of you coming a little late to the game, let me define a few online advertising terms. “CPM” is cost per thousand impressions, and is often used to price banner ads and similar items. “CPC” or “PPC” is cost (or pay) per click advertising. Instead of paying for eyeballs, the advertiser pays every time someone clicks on his or her ad. Both forms of advertising are subject to fraud; with PPC advertising, in fact, there’s been a lot of debate surrounding the frequency of “click fraud,” up to and including what kinds of clicks fit the definition. (Neither advertisers nor search engines can read people’s minds, much as they both would like to).
Cost per action (CPA) or pay per action (PPA) is different. Instead of paying for a certain number of impressions or for clicks on ads, advertisers pay every time someone clicks through the ad and completes a particular action. The action can be anything that can be tracked online: signing up for a newsletter, giving some personal information for a sales lead, buying a product, or even some combination of these actions (say $1 if the web surfer fills out a form and $5 if he or she buys something).
This is going to change the online advertising dynamic in a number of ways. It also threatens at least one company’s business model. Let’s take a closer look at what this new option means for advertisers and for publishers.

Microsoft Buys Tellme
Microsoft fired a new salvo in its so far unsuccessful war to catch up with Google in the search arena. The software giant bought Tellme Networks, a voice services and automated directory assistance provider. Tellme may not seem too much like an Internet search company at first glance, but it is -- especially when you consider where the next battle over search will be fought.
Though financial terms of the deal were not disclosed, it is widely rumored that Microsoft spent between $800 million and $1 billion to acquire Tellme. So what is Microsoft getting for that kind of money? Well, for starters, the company has been around since 1999, and it is already profitable. The Mountain View, Ca.-based operation boasts 320 employees -- including CEO Mike McCue, who, interestingly enough, used to work for Microsoft rival Netscape. Tellme has raised more than $230 million through several rounds of venture capital. The last of these rounds came in late 2000; Tellme is currently rumored to be making more than $100 million a year.
It's the automated directory assistance and call center services that are bringing in the money for Tellme. Clients of these services include Fedex, Cingular/AT&T, American Airlines, American Express and other large companies. Indeed, Tellme answers millions of calls every day. Customers use them to find information about local businesses, driving directions, sports scores, stock quotes, weather, news, movie show times, and more. Most of the time, people who use Tellme's services don't even realize that Tellme was the one providing the service.
When you think about it, then, Tellme is providing its users with search; it's just not Internet search in the form that most of us are used to. It's mobile search and local search, enabled by the telephone's voice interface. As the software giant explained in the press release announcing the acquisition, "Microsoft and Tellme share a vision around the potential of speech as a way to enable access to information, locate other people and enhance business processes, any time and from any device." In short, Microsoft believes that the next arena for the battle to win the hearts and minds of searchers is going to be mobile and local search, and that Tellme has what it needs to win.
