Howsabout a XML sitemap for $250.00? SCAM ALERT

[Shardik]

One of my clients sent me a letter from a company called Global Vibration, Inc. that said their site didn't have a Google sitemap (which it did). If you are a website owner or developer you might want to be aware of this scam.

Here's the message with links redacted:

As I was on xxxxxxxxx.com this morning, I was unable to locate a "Google Sitemap file" on your website.

I am not referring to a regular "site map" for people to visit online, but rather to a script which helps Google to read and index your website's overall content. I advise you to visit us online where we explain clearly what a "Google Sitemap file" is and what you need to do to get one: xxxxxxxxxxxx

A Sitemap file is a "code" placed in the root directory of your website which captures all the crucial information about your website, thus facilitating the crawling and indexing process for Google.

Give Google easier access to your site: Get a Google Sitemap file!

We offer a full turnkey service, including Google and Yahoo Sitemap files creation + registration. Visit us online for more details.
