[eLML Users] Ranking in Google better thanks to eLML improvements

SourceForge Headquarters 1320 Columbia Street Suite 310 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Dear eLML-Users,
Last week I did some improvements within the eLML core that will help  
you rank better in Google. I mainly added two things:
1. eLML now generates a sitemap.xml file
2. META-tags are a lot better and more descriptive

I started working with Google Webmaster tools (http://www.google.com/intl/de/webmasters/ 
) and learned some new stuff. So I thought why not implement it into  
the eLML core :-) Now I dont want to make publicity for Google but we  
cannot neglect the tips listed there if we want our HTML pages to be  
found. You will also find more information about sitemaps and how the  
work under the above link. Please note that the sitemap.xml file is  
generated on root level as is the manifest.xml file. This is because  
its basically where it belongs on your webserver :-)

I also integrated Google Analytics (http://www.google.com/analytics/)  
into both olat.org and elml.ch using eLML but this is not (yet?) a  
general feature of eLML. I did include this adapting my online.xsl  
file. I could also implement this directly into the core but:
a) I dont know if its of general interest
b) its a Google-specific feature so I dont know if it should really be  
part of the core (the above two features are not Google-specific but  
general improvements for ALL search engines)

Feel free to contact me if you have further questions about these  
minor improvements.

Bye
Joël
