To assist Google with finding your deployed !WebWorks Reverb Help files, it advised to create a ''Sitemap'' file.

By creating a Google Sitemap file, you ensure that your generated files in the Reverb format show up in your own Reverb Search engine as well as any generic Google search.

/!\ This is a great way to get your Reverb Help files discovered on the Internet!

How to create a Sitemap file for any set of deployed Reverb files that is compatible with Google Search and Google Webmaster Tools.

 1. Note the URL of the ''entry'' page of your published Reverb files (i.e. http://www.webworks.com/Documentation/2010_3/Reverb/index.html).
 1. Using a ''sitemap generator tool'', generate a single XML file in Sitemap format (see http://www.sitemaps.org) using your ''entry'' page URL.
 1. From with ''Google Webmaster Tools'', upload the generated XML sitemap file.
