We're surrounded by moving boxes and construction dust. To better reflect our goal to provide
tools and information to keep you, the webmasters, informed and help you increase your crawl
coverage and visibility on Google, we're renaming Google Sitemaps to
Google Webmaster Tools. The Sitemaps protocol remains unchanged and Sitemaps
submission mechanisms and reporting is still available from the Sitemaps tab. We're also renaming
our blog and Google Group to be more broadly focused on webmaster topics.
