We just launched two new features.
Mobile Sitemaps
You can already useGoogle Mobile Web Searchon your mobile phone to search through sites that have been specifically designed for mobile
phones, PDAs, and other handheld devices. We add new sites to our mobile web index regularly.
Now you can see information for the URLs in your site that we've had trouble accessing—both
for URLs from your Sitemap and those we've discovered during a regular crawl. We won't show you
these additional statistics until youverify your site,
which is a very simple process. Click theverifylink next to the site on your My Sitemap
page, create an empty file using the name we specify, and upload it to the folder where your
Sitemap is located. We'll check to see that the file is there, which tells us that you have
permission to upload files to that site, and then we'll show you the information.

Mobile Sitemaps allow users to submit mobile webpage URLs, requiring a separate Sitemap for each markup language (XHTML, WML, cHTML). New Site Statistics show information on inaccessible URLs, both from Sitemaps and regular crawls. To access these statistics, users must verify their site by uploading a specified file to their Sitemap folder. Some information in the post may be outdated.\n"]]
