As we reported last week, Google, Yahoo! and MSN have come together to follow an uniform Sitemaps protocol.

However, the confusion that has lately prevailed is where to submit the sitemaps file for MSN. There is no parallel to Google Sitamps or Yahoo! Site Explorer for MSN so far. Last week Ken Moss, General Manager, Live Search had said that:

We are 100% behind this protocol – this kind of collaboration will help improve the search experience for all of our customers, and we are working hard to release full support in 2007. We are starting to alpha test with internal partners such as MSDN and Microsoft Support now.

Is that what Microsoft has in mind: 2007?

Sitebases, the next protocol after Sitemaps
It can save the time and press for the search engine, also for the websites.
It can bring new search engine that named Search Engine 2.0 .
Using Sitebases protocol, will save 95% bandwidth above. It is another sample for long tail theory.
In this protocol, I suggested that all search engine can share their Big Sitebases each other, so the webmaster just need to submit their Sitebases to one Search Engine.
And I suggested that all search engines can open their search API for free and unlimited using.
