Hi guys. I have a doubt hope you can help me with your knowledge. Why sitemap are in .XML format. Why google and other search engines only want sitemap in XML file.
Because XML is a very easily parsed language for computers, it's hierarchial which means it lends well to the concept of a sitemap, and it's relatively easy to both create and parse.
For reference, you also submit text files whee each line is an URL. See this article for more information about the different sitemap file types.
I’m really impressed together with your writing skills as well as with the layout for your weblog. Anyway keep up the excellent quality writing, I have also avail information about the best new project Great blog really enjoyed reading it. Have bookmarked you and will check back regular. Please feel free to take a look at my blog…
You should upload sitempa.xml file in your home directory and verify that with google once you uploaded that file in root. Because this xml file is Google verification purpose.
I would suggest you to please use - https://www.xml-sitemaps.com/ for sitemap.xml creation. I hope this will work fine with you and will not get any error.
