I'm new to sitemap's and Google SEO.  I've gotten pretty far using DNN's native Google sitemap submission feature, however, it only submits pages that are included in the menu.  I'm wanting to submit pages that are not included in the menu.  The reason being is that I would like to create a page with a title that has a number of keywords inthe title of the page.  Since this isn't too pretty I would like to hide this page so users don't click on it when their accessing the page via its url and not a search engine result.  It looks pretty bad when you have 8-10 keywords in your page title.. I thought I could hide the page and only have it searchable via search engines... The reason I came up with this idea is due to the fact when I search my competitors they always beat me in ranking.  what I noticed is that all rankings above me have keywords in their page title, thus, I'm being agressive on getting page titles our there with keywords in it...

So, how can I submit that is not included in the menu to Google SEO?  I'm assuming I'll have to use a 3rd party utility.  I know of the three mentioned below... any suggestions?

If you have an google sitemap account then just review the url submission stardards.

You can add or delete pages as you would like to.

Excessive use of keywords is not a good way to help your ranking goes up. Google (and many other search engines) has ignored the keywords due to misuse by many SEO specialists a while ago. If you want your site ranking to go up, an authentic way to do it (beside site structure optimization) is to have related or valuable content to what users are search for.

Your competitors got better ranking do not neccesary mean because they are using more keywords.

you're correct for I'm seeing results now that my title, content, url, and keywords all have matching phrases that I wish to be found in search engine results.  It seems that if the phrase is listed in title, content, url, and keywords I rank higer in the search engine.

Thanks.
