Google, Yahoo, and MSN Ping URLs for Sitemaps

If you’ve got an XML sitemap for your website, you can alert the search engines to updates by typing a specially formatted URL into your browser. Here are the URLs for the Sitemap ping services for each of the three major search engines.

Google:
http://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps/pingsitemap=http://www.example.com/sitemap-file.xml.

Where example.com and sitemap-file.xml are replaced by your domain and filename.

Bing:
http://www.bing.com/webmaster/ping.aspx?siteMap=http://www.example.com/sitemap-file.xml.

Where example.com and sitemap-file.xml are replaced by your domain and filename.

Yahoo! also offers this service, but a more involved registration process is required. Learn more about Yahoo!’s Update Notification.

Thanks for this quick reference. I think Yahoo also has a URL. I’m not sure though.
