Creating a Google Webmaster Account and SiteMap

Login to your Netfirms Control Panel at https://controlpanel.netfirms.com
Click "Applications"
Click "Webmaster Tools"
In the "Add Webmaster Tools" section, use the pull-down menu to select a domain you wish to setup with Google Webmaster Tools
To add a default sitemap for your site, click the corresponding "Add" button

NOTE: You can either use a default sitemap.xml that we create for you, or a customized sitemap.xml file that you or a 3rd party program has created. Using our interface you can submit either of those to Google.

Completing the above steps will also accomplish the following:

Create a Google Webmaster Tools account on behalf of the registrant
Submit the selected domain name to Google's search engine for indexing
A confirmation file in the selected domain's home directory will be created to allow Google to visit that link. The file created looks similar to: googlefdh35sdh48dfhr734.html
