How to create and use Image Sitemaps
Through Google Image Sitemaps, Google receives metadata regarding the images contained on a website. Visitors can do an image search on Google. Using Google image extensions in Sitemaps provides the search engine with additional information regarding the images on the website. This can help Google discover images it may not find through crawling, such as those accessed via JavaScript forms.
To provide Google with information regarding images on the website, the site owner must add relevant details to the standard Sitemap. This includes the type of image, subject matter, caption, title, geographic location, and license. The process enables site owners to identify which images on each page are most important.
NOTE:
Sitemap Generator script will include unique images URLs in sitemap to avoid duplicating repeating images for all pages. Images sitemap is stored in a separate xml file.
An example of Images sitemap file on our site: sitemap_images.xml
You can find more details on google webmaster tools help pages.

I used your online sitemap generator and was wildly impressed! I had used one on another site right before and it only picked up a few pages (and had several errors). Yours picked up 371 pages and validated completely! Thanks!

I am extremely happy with your new "stand alone" Sitemap Script! The software is very easy to setup and use, even for a novice! I immediately found out that many of our sites had not been properly indexed since mid 2006!!! YIKES!
For the money, you can't beat this script!
Jerry Brooks,
We're using www.xml-sitemaps.com from v4 and I cannot be more satisfied with the results. Thanks a lot and keep on improving it.
Cheers,

Unbelieveable! This was extremely easy to understand--especially for the "not so computer savvy" and the tech support helped me incredibly.
The SAME day my sitemap was submitted to Google by tech support, my site was indexed. I am absolutely thrilled and wish I had found you all sooner!
