Google today announced that webmasters could submit their Sitemaps for multiple hosts on a single dedicated host.
So let’s say that you own www.example.com and mysite.google.com and you have Sitemaps for both hosts, e.g. sitemap-example.xml and sitemap-mysite.xml. Until today, you would have to store each Sitemap on its respective host. If you tried to place sitemap-mysite.xml on www.example.com, you would get an error because, for security reasons, a Sitemap on www.example.com can only contains URLs from www.example.com. So how do we solve this? Well, if you can “prove” that you own or control both of these hosts, then either one can host a Sitemap containing URLs for the other.
Google is talking to other search engines so that they too follow and accept this cross-submission sitemap procedure.

Wow! This is real good news. I strongly believe that this would save webmasters and bloggers some time. I also hope this improves on how search engines find and index sites. Will the other search engines accept?
