+SilverStripe provides support for the Google Sitemaps XML system, enabling 
+Google and other search engines to see all pages on your site. This helps 
+your SilverStripe website rank well in search engines, and to encourage the 
+information on your site to be discovered by Google quickly.
 
-## Installation Instructions
+Therefore, all Silverstripe websites contain a special controller which can 
+be visited: http://yoursite.com/sitemap.xml
 
- * See http://doc.silverstripe.org/modules#installation
+See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sitemaps for info on this format 
 
+In addition, whenever you publish a new or republish an existing page, 
+SilverStripe automatically informs Google of the change, encouraging a Google 
+to take notice. If you install the SilverStripe Google Analytics module, you 
+can see if Google has updated your page as a result.
+
+By default, SilverStripe informs Google that the importance of a page depends 
+on its position of in the sitemap. "Top level" pages are most important, and 
+the deeper a page is nested, the less important it is. (For each level, 
+Importance drops from 1.0, to 0.9, to 0.8, and so on, until 0.1 is reached).
+
+In the CMS, in the "Content/GoogleSitemap" tab, you can set the page importance 
+manually, including requesting to have the page excluded from the google sitemap.
