Now uCoz has it’s own feature for creating Sitemap files.

How to use Sitemap feature

Step one 1. First of all you need to create a Sitemap file. To do this go to Control Panel and install Site search. You’ll be offered to create a Sitemap – check the necessary modules and click "Apply". If you have a forum installed, a separate sitemap file will be created for it.

After you have created a Sitemap file you’ll be able to see two new files in the root folder of File Manager: sitemap.xml and, if you have a forum, sitemap-forum.xml.

To update a sitemap file click on Update Sitemap file in Site search module:

Sitemap can be updated not oftener than once a day.

Step 2. Now you need to get the obtained files to search engines. Let’s take Google as an example.

Google. Go to Webmaster Tools, select a website or add a new one. Click “Add” under Sitemap -> enter your Sitemap url and click Submit sitemap.

After the files have been checked and indexed, the links from Sitemap will appear in search engines at the next update.

It's not paid feature. Look in inactive bar of left side menu.

lol, I knew you were going to say that. I went to goold like is stated in the example above /\ and logged in and went to add my site but, google asks u to put a "meta tag" on your page before it can be "verified". I did this and google stated that "We couldn't find the verification meta tag." Thus, my question.. what am I not seeing?

Also, here is what it says on google that need to be done for usage of sitemaps.

"Submitting Sitemaps using Google Webmaster Tools

Before you begin, make sure you have the following sites added and verified in your Webmaster Tools account:

* the site on which the Sitemap is located
* the site(s) whose URLs are referenced in the Sitemap"

which is what I did and got that "error" that came back. So, that's where I am.

Which means that you probably did smth wrong. Make sure you did everything as it is explained at google.

ok, this is what is says to do on google... "Copy the meta tag below, and paste it into your site's home page. It should go in the <head> section, before the first <body> section." and since we don't have a "head" section on our pages, I'm not sure where to put this code.

Sorry to be so much trouble.. normaly, IM the one helping other people out.. tongue

HandsofWondr, we do have 'head' tags, e.g. in Site Pages template. Be more attentive.
