I’m excited! I was able to get google sitemaps to work with all the listing blogs…

this means that you can now create a property listing blog, and then use google’s webmaster tools to verify and add a sitemap for you listing blog. Once you submit the sitemap, the listing blog will then be indexed by google for search engine placement. If you are unfamilar with google’s webmaster tools, you can visit the site here: http://www.google.com/webmasters/

This is a great way to keep track of your site traffic, and see how your site appears in search engines. You only have to create one account to manage all your websites.

I just released this today, so it is in alpha, which means it worked for me, it might work for you.
There was a lot of hacking that was involded to get the sitemaps working since this in not a typical wordpress install. The verification process has worked for everysite I tried, exept for 1. The result I got for the one failure said the verification was pending. I then deleted that website from my google account, then added the website again, verified it, and this time it worked…so I have no idea why it did not verify the first time. Other then that it works great. After you submit a sitemap to google it takes a few minutes for google to verify that the sitemap is ‘OK’ I have not had any problems with the sitemap not working once google says it is a good sitemap.
