By registering your server in geodata.gov you enable network-based users to pose queries and access metadata harvested from your site. Where links in the Online Linkage of your metadata point to your map services or data for download, the users are directed to your site for those data and services.

To advertise the search of your metadata in geodata.gov, include a link to the geodata.gov interface from your website.
