As a follow-up to my article on submitting your Sitemap.

Once registered you need to verify your site either by a meta tag or a small xml file and then you can get a bit more info on how live search views your site.   It shows inbound and outbound links and a tool that ranks pages in relationship to keywords.  It’s as simple as the offerings from Google and Yahoo.   It’s nice to see Live playing catchup.
