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.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
I just found your site and used your online sitemap tool. Within a few minutes my sitemap was submitted to Google. Now we just need to sit back and let "The Big G" do it's magic.
I know sitemaps are important, but I never knew how to create one. Now I don't have to.
Dave,
I was getting ready to hire somebody to create a Google XML sitemap for me, but luckily I found your tool before I did. It definitely saved me time and money and I will definitely recommend it to others. It was, fast, quick and easier than I expected.
Thanks a lot!

What an awesome tool the sitemap generator is! I have two websites and even though I am not all that techno-savvy, I was able to generate and upload my sitemaps to Google in no time!
Without the Online Sitemap Generator Service I may never have gotten my sitemaps submitted. Thank you!
