Our PubCon coverage continues from Las Vegas with this special report.
In an exclusive video interview with WebProNews Yahoo and Google announced a collaborative site called sitemaps.org. Tim Mayer states in the video, “This is something we are announcing tonight at around 9 PM tonight (Las Vegas) Google and Yahoo have gotten together to provide webmasters and publishers a unified way to send their content … let our search engines know about new and existing content.”
Vanessa Fox of Google added, “So we are launching a new site, Sitemaps.org and that will be jointly supported by Yahoo and Google and it will have the sitemaps protocol there. Over time as we evolve it as sort of a collaborative effort all of the information will be there. We are really hoping that this will help webmasters to have an open standard and make it much easier so that they don’t have to worry about one type of feed for one engine and another type of feed for another engine.”
.
There are certain partnerships you cannot ignore and if Google and Yahoo are involved, jointly, then most of the free world will take notice. With that in mind, Tim Mayer of Yahoo and Vanessa Fox of Google have announced, exclusively to WebProNews, they have combined forces to launch Sitemaps.org. This service gives webmasters and siteowners a sitemaps.org tool that will be usable by all the search engines willing to participate.
Not only are Google and Yahoo collaborating on this project, they’ve also issued an open invitation to the other search engines willing to join. Microsoft accepted that invitation and will jointly support Sitemaps.org and its efforts.

The world has really become a much more casual place. Is it just me or wouldn’t it be a good idea to have a list of questions before you start these things.
Great video, I fully enjoyed it

[...] Das Thema Suchmaschinenoptimierung (SEO) ist schier unerschöpflich. Neben unserem Lieblingsslogan “Content is King” also der Macht des richtigen Inhalts, gibt es natürlich auch noch weitere Aspekte. Sogenannte Off-Site Themen (Verlinkungen, Partnerschaften etc.) und auch On-Site im Sinne von Technik (Keywords, Pfadstruktur etc.). Wichtig für jede Suchmaschine ist zweifellos die Sitemap einer Webpage. Schon heute beachten die führenden Systeme (Google, Yahoo! etc.) die Seitenübersicht, die ja auch einem Nutzer, wenn sie gut gemacht ist, eine strukturierte Übersicht über das Webangebot gibt. Mit einer Initiative von Google, Yahoo!, Microsoft Live Search und Ask.com wird die automatisierte Erkennung und Berücksichtigung von Sitemaps über noch zu definierende Standards in den Suchmaschinen deutlich aufgewertet.

[...] WebProNews also published a nice PubCon video with Vanessa Fox (Google Search) and Tim Mayer (Yahoo! Search). What strikes me out is that those two guys, Vanessa and Tim are talking about a Google-Yahoo! thing, not a Google-Yahoo!-MSN thing. So what’s the deal after all ? Is Microsoft in it or not ? They say they are on their blog. [...]

Amazing. The globalization is always surprising…
I think now is everything much easier.
[...] With the search engine industry expressing a desire for webmasters to employ functional Sitemaps, it’s easy to see how important these documents can be when it comes to being indexed correctly. Now Google, who initially launched the Sitemap program, is offering the same service for those who are already apart of Google News. [...]
[...] If like me you didn’t make it to Vagus for the 14th WMW conference, there’s some great coverage at Webpronews including interviews with Matt Cutts from Google, and Brett Tabke who started WMW. I haven’t had the time to go through all the video, but there’s even more talk of social media than ever before, an even talk of traffic beyond search. [...]
Yea baby! This sitemap standardization will enable webmasters to answer many questions. We will soon discover why webpages are not consistantly ranked in most all of the serch engines the same way. Then, we will be able to offer professional solutions. Congratulations Google and Yahoo. We’re watching you on WebProNews

Nice interview Chris, congrats again – great to see WebProNews break this story.
Great news to hear that google and yahoo are starting to work together and now hopefully we can start treating them as equal.
Good example for world – Google and Yahoo together:-)
Well that’s a very good move by these major search engines. This will reduce a lot of additional work for all of us. We may expect such tie-ups in future as well.
Finally a fantastic product for everyone likes internet power. Thanks very much Yahoo and Google !!!

Good iniative, going with a well-established (open) standard is always positive – regardless of who made it.
Something negative now: The clip is playing 5 secs and then buffering, playing 5 secs and then buffering again, you should look into this.

What a fantastic move by Google and Yahoo to collaborate together. I like the idea that the site won’t be branded “Google” or “Yahoo” and that it will provide one standard for all.
I am also pleased to hear that there is an open invitation to all other search engines to join. Well done to G & Y for taking initiative…

[...] Yahoo / Google work together on sitemaps! Hi guys, Quick bit of news on the SEO front. News has hit the net that Yahoo and Google are working together on a new "sitemaps" implementation. You’d be hard pressed to know the two biggest Search Engines are behind the site ( sitemaps.org – Home ) due to the lack of mention of ever names but rest assured I’ve found a Video Interview here with further background information on the initiative. Just for info Microsoft (to a lesser degree) are also on-board with the project! Regards, Martin (ps. Some of you may have noticed the site before, I know I’ve stumbled on it a while ago but this news should apply added weight to it’s worth.) __________________ Subbynet Information Technologies IT Installations & Support, Consultancy and Specialist Business Logic Integrators Tel:- 0870 896 55 65 Email:- infoTIYB@subbynet.co.uk Providing solutions for a productive future!

Great! I’m happy to notice cooperation between the best search engines. We will finally have one submittable sitemap; This will so much easier to deal with. thanks!
This is a great development and should really help the search engines work with large database-driven websites that feature query-laiden URL structures. Good to see the engines join forces and set standards.

[...] Google e Yahoo (con invito/accettato a MSN e altri motori) insieme per aumentare la visibilità dei siti web nei posizionamenti organici (video annuncio in WebProNews) con sitemaps.org. What are Sitemaps? Sitemaps are an easy way for webmasters to inform search engines about pages on their sites that are available for crawling. In its simplest form, a Sitemap is an XML file that lists URLs for a site along with additional metadata about each URL (when it was last updated, how often it usually changes, and how important it is, relative to other URLs in the site) so that search engines can more intelligently crawl the site.
