Does sitemap speedup index?

sitemap is really improtant? we have to submit it ? if it is, is there any free sitemap generator?

 

Yes, It does help in getting indexed faster.
A frequent updated sitemap got crawled frequently.

 

Absolutely, Rachel.

My recent blog post on this subject cites a recent study conducted by a UCLA student and a Google employee which shows hard numbers proving that sitemaps help speed up how fast Google learns of your URLs almost 80% of the time.

i submitted 2 sitemaps of my blogger blog
qwertyweb.blogspot.com
of comments and other of rss feed ,i m gettin more traffic

 

right now google webmaster tools have sitemap via rss so even if you didnt generate sitemap.xml, letting google to access you rss would be enuff. This is a brilliant way to generate sitemap too since rss contain link to specific information yes you dont have to worry about running cron for it to be indexed.

I was wondering id there is a tools that can generate sitemap via rss.

 

AutoMapIt.com creates sitemaps in RSS plus XML, HTML, text, ROR, and OPML which can be imported into WordPress as a blogroll.

The RSS sitemap uses RSS 2.0 and includes your page title and meta description as part of the RSS feed/sitemap.

Since it's an online tool, it will crawl your entire site no matter which CMS or blog/forum system you are using, whether you have PHP or ASP.

 

hmm, this what i search sitemap for blogspot, thx guys

 

For google, I think it is right. But, for bing, not.
But well-done sitemap might make your site get indexed more fully.

 

It helps quite a lot, but indexing depends on other factors too.

 

i think it does because i had alot off morepages in google than otherwisxe

 

This one is the best i found till now, so just try it.

hi all, I dont know much about sitemaps and have a question. I read a lot of different stories about sitemaps and sitemap generating software etc.. i want to make sure I understand the right thing.

I went to an online sitemap generator and generated a sitemap for my small site. I added the xml file to my site and liked to it from one page. Is that it? Or are there other things I should do?

should I submit it? where? why?

Thanks in advance for the help!

 

wordpress have a certain plugin , callled sitemap generator where u can easily generate and then submit map to google in webmaster zone after loggin ,though blogger doesnt have such kinda ,u can easily create , just add /posts/comments and feed , ATOM or RSS ,both !

 

Sitemap helps a lot in fast indexing of links and content..

Sitemaps are a great tool to help you get indexed quicker
