After a Google Webmaster Tools account has been created, follow these steps:
  1. Log in to your Google Webmaster Tools account.
  2. On the Webmaster Tools home page, click the site you want.
  3. Under Site configuration, click "Sitemaps".
  4. Click the "Add/Test Sitemap" button.
  5. In the text box, enter the sitemap's URL: http://www.MyDomain.com/xml/sitemap.xml
  6. Click the "Submit Sitemap" button.
Once Google accepts your store's sitemap, it will scan it on a regular basis.
