Sitemap Submissions are Deprecated

in blog •  6 months ago 

I had a crontab job that submits sitemaps to Google, Bing, Live etc, and I found out today that the sitemap submissions are deprecated for some time.

I've got 404, 403 error codes and the Google has declared it deprecated a while ago:

Sitemaps ping is deprecated. See https://developers.google.com/search/blog/2023/06/sitemaps-lastmod-ping.

I found out this because I am refactoring the crontab jobs and one approach I am doing is to redirect the output of the commands in the crontab job to log files which I found out there are errors.

Sitemaps are important for SEO as it informs the search engines if your links are out-dated.
