[Yahoo! has announced](https://ystoreblog.com/blog/2006/06/new-feature-sitemap-for-your-store/)
that it is integrating Sitemaps into Y! Merchant stores. Starting today, Yahoo! merchants can
automatically create a Sitemap file for their stores and share information about their site with
Google and other search engines to improve their visibility online. With this integration, Yahoo!
merchants can also easily verify ownership of their stores---so they can create a Google
Sitemaps account and benefit from the additional reports and tools that show them Google's view
of their site.
