How to create and use Image Sitemaps
Through Google Image Sitemaps, Google receives metadata regarding the images contained on a website. Visitors can do an image search on Google. Using Google image extensions in Sitemaps provides the search engine with additional information regarding the images on the website. This can help Google discover images it may not find through crawling, such as those accessed via JavaScript forms.
To provide Google with information regarding images on the website, the site owner must add relevant details to the standard Sitemap. This includes the type of image, subject matter, caption, title, geographic location, and license. The process enables site owners to identify which images on each page are most important.
NOTE:
Sitemap Generator script will include unique images URLs in sitemap to avoid duplicating repeating images for all pages. Images sitemap is stored in a separate xml file.
An example of Images sitemap file on our site: sitemap_images.xml
You can find more details on google webmaster tools help pages.

Thank you for making this tool available for those of us who generate a few simple websites now and then, but lack the expertise to create a functional “sitemap!”

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
I just found your site and used your online sitemap tool. Within a few minutes my sitemap was submitted to Google. Now we just need to sit back and let "The Big G" do it's magic.
I know sitemaps are important, but I never knew how to create one. Now I don't have to.
Dave,
Time and Time again I keep coming back to use your excellent service which is by far, the easiest sitemap generator available online.

Absolutely the best online sitemap generator I have ever used. Loved the way it read my robots.txt file and excluded those directories automatically. Plus a google sitemap, html sitemap, and plain text sitemap for yahoo, all in one request is incredible.
Thanks for this great online service!
Jim,
I purchased, downloaded, installed and created the first sitemaps with the Sitemap Generator "in a flash!!"
If I can do it, ANYONE can! Thanks for a great, economical sitemap generation system.
