Guys I don't know how many of you guys have heard of it, but I have notice a lot of people still don't know about the Google tools / site map. It shows crawl errors, and what google is looking for well not 100 percent what Google is looking for, but this tool is very helpful, and you may find it at.

https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/

Also with this google site map tools you can tell google how important each page is on your site map, and how often it changes. You can tell google rather its dynamic url, and more. Read a little paragraph below about what google had to say about there tool.

Quote:

A Sitemap file lets you tell us about all the pages on your site, and optionally, information about those pages, such as which are most important and how often they change. By submitting a Sitemap file, you can take control of the first part of the crawling/indexing processes: our discovery of the pages.

This may be particularly helpful if your site has dynamic content, pages that aren't easily discovered by following links, or if your site is new and has few links to it.

Speeds the process up

Give it a try, specially if your a seo geek.

I use the google webmaster tools and i have found it to be very helpful for my site, but one thing i was a bit unsure of when i first started using is was how to create an automated sitemap for my site for google to crawl and keep my site upto date in their index, but i found this site http://www.xml-sitemaps.com which sorted that problem out, so for anyone else who is the same as me, this will help.

We use:
http://gsitecrawler.com/

Fast and creates visually nice sitemaps too that can be used as a normal sitemap.

On your sitemap page for that particular site, you should see:

Sitemap Type Submitted Last Downloaded Sitemap Status URLs submitted
sitemap.xml Sitemap Web Jan 11, 2007 Jan 16, 2007 OK 29

Last downloaded should tell you if Google got to it.
