Freebie SEO site-augmentation package: major upgrade

The time-tested "Freebie" SEO-Site-Augmentation package has now had another major upgrade. This one pertains to adding more site pages by means of a drastically augmented interface to Abebooks; the new interface doubles the effective number of Abebooks pages added to your site, which increases the total pages added by this package by a full 50%--besides making the Abebooks pages much more interesting and useful for your visitors and potentially profitable for you.

The new release also contains some improvements to the package's ability to automatically generate and update Google sitemaps for all the many thousands of pages it generates on your site.

If you are not already familiar with Freebie, it is a free (of course!) package that will augment any site by providing it with tens of thousands of perfectly legitimate ever-changing reasonably relevant pages with no ongoing effort on your part and only a very simple initial setup--and the pages are dynamic, so you're not storing thousands of individual files or a huge database.

The pages it provides are Amazon and Abebooks book pages, which are selected (by a search phrase you choose) to be relevant to your site's theme. Because the package provides, in effect, a separate "bookshop" for each of the six national Amazon divisions, a few thousand titles are multipled 18 times (six Amazon divisions, and new and used versions--that last now two pages per title). And it is now easier to use "complex" (Boolean) search terms, to better pinpoint, and control the count of, titles listed.

You even stand to make some income off the package if you are, or enroll as, an Amazon and/or ABE affiliate.

Just-released version 2.40 has, besides a few minor improvements, (including some to ease working with Windows-based servers), automatic generation of sitemap files listing every page the package adds; that is important because, as Google itself says, their searchbots are not 100% reliable at following links to php-based files with parameter strings in their URLs. The package will update its sitemap files at every run (ideally daily) and even auto-submit a notice to Google that the files have changed.

Also included in the package is a script for separately sitemapping your entire site, so your sitemaps can be complete: it maps all of your site except files or directories your robots.txt file disallows. (And that script can, as of this release, be run as often as you like without losing any customization of page frequency or priority data.)

The package has simple built-in provision for running either AdSense ads or Digitalpoint Co-op Network ads (or, of course, both), as well as easily ading in any other material you may want on each page.

And as always, I will work with anyone installing or using the package who has questions or encounters any snag.

As an illustration, just the other day I brought a new site on line, and within hours Google showed over 22,000 indexed pages for it.

While there is never any guarantee that even a large, dynamic set of pages will boost your site in the SERPs, it can't hurt (I have some augmented sites on page 1 of G's SERPs for their keywords).
