Posted by admin On December - 9 - 2009 Comments Off

Many wapsite builders or those who make wap sites are always thinking of that whether google and other search engines are able to find their sites and crawling them properly and are they missing some urls.As the standard of wap sitemap is different from the website.

Google suggests following format for developing sitemap

A sample Mobile Sitemap containing listing a single entry is shown below.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9"
xmlns:mobile="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap-mobile/1.0">
<url>
<loc>http://mobile.example.com/article100.html</loc>
<mobile:mobile/>
</url>
</urlset>

If the <mobile:mobile/> tag is missing, your mobile URLs won’t be properly crawled.

Sitemaps currently supports and automatically detects the following markup languages:

* non-mobile (this includes most content)
* XHTML mobile profile (WAP 2.0)
* WML (WAP 1.2)
* cHTML (iMode)

It is complicated how to do it automatically ?

Well for it you have to purchase a software (Price $59) I think it is good if you have very big wap site
