Google has another program that will help you promote your web page and get more traffic to your podcasts.  It's called the Google Site Maps.  Google Site maps are an XML document that lists the important pages in your web page.  Once you have installed the site map in your web page Google is then able to better search your site and list the important information on your web page.  It was started in 2005 and before site maps came into being the web page your worked so hard creating was indexed by Googlebot and important items like your podcast might or might not have been found and indexed. 

But when you have a Google Site map on your web site you can tell Google valuable information about your web site. Google wants to be sure that they find the important information on your web page and especially the information that changes often like new podcasts.  So with the site map you can tell Google the importance of certain pages in your web page.  You can even rank the importance of the web pages by giving them a ranking of 0.0 to 1.0.  You can also tell Google how often your might be updating the different pages.

The first thing you need to do to get the site map installed on your computer is to set up an account with Google.   Then you need to create a Google Site map and you can easily and quickly do this at XML-sitemaps.com.  There are a lot of ways to make a site map but this link will get you up and going real quick.  They will generate the site map for you and provide you with the links to complete the installation with Google.
