Submit Sitemap By Hand

If you like to submit sitemap to search engines without opening a special account, for example at Google Webmaster Central, you can submit sitemap 'by hand'.

Simply enter into browser:
<searchengine_URL>/ping?sitemap=sitemap_url

So, for example, if your sitemap here
http://www.mysite.com/sitemap.xml)

you submit:
<searchengine_URL>/ping?sitemap=http://www.mysite.com/sitemap.xml


Also you can add one line into robots.txt file:
Sitemap: <sitemap_location>
for example:
Sitemap: http://www.mysite.com/sitemap.xml
