Is that okay? Or do I need one? This is what I get when I paste my robots.txt contents into the Bing verifier: My robots.txt file: # robots.txt generated at http://www.mcanerin.com User-agent: * Disallow: Disallow: /flash/ Disallow: /images/ Validation Results: Warning: 'sitemap' - tag isn't specified. ************************************************** Is that important? I don't have a sitemap I'm new at SEO btw. Thanks for any help!
just validate your robots.txt and if it is validated and fine then you have nothing to worry. Enjoy...
the creation of a sitemap is recommended you can find many tools for creation online. you also can submit your sitemap to google: http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/ping?sitemap= yahoo: http://search.yahooapis.com/SiteExplorerService/V1/ping?sitemap= bing: http://www.bing.com/webmaster/ping.aspx?siteMap= and others searchengines.
