A: This is very simple to do. You can open notepad or any text editor you like and create the file robots.txt is text format only. Below is the basic sample code to point to your sitemap and allow indexing and crawling of all your pages. Just save this file and upload it to your top web directory.

User-agent: *
Disallow:
sitemap: Your URL to Your SiteMap

Don't you think you have written Disallow: instead of Allow:

A Sitemap is a graphical representation of the architecture of a website. There are two kinds of site maps. The first is used to assist visitors to a site to navigate the site and the second is done in XML. XML Sitemaps, usually called Sitemap with a capital “S”, are used by Goggle to gather information about the site.

Sitemap is especially important if your site:

* Has dynamic content
* Has pages with a lot of flash or AJAX
* Is new and doesn’t have many links
* Has a lot of archived pages that are not linked well, or not at all
* Tailored to get your complete website indexed almost instantly.
* Guaranteed to improve your site rankings.
* Compliant with the new Google Sitemap format.

The use of Sitemap becomes doubly important if the site has pages that can only be accessed through user entry. Sitemap will assist web crawlers in finding and accessing the pages.

Site maps are very important for Web sites, large and small. Not only do site maps make it easier for search engine spiders to discover and crawl every page, they also provide critical details about different topics nestled throughout similar themes
For a small site, the site map could contain text links to single every page. A site map needn't follow the site's folder structure. Categories of different topics can be presented in a directory-like format or even a table of contents to build particular themes. This sort of simple site map organization usually works well for a site of 100 pages or less.

When a site grows beyond several hundred pages, it's not a good idea to link to every single page in a site map. It's not visitor friendly to do so. Even Google advises the maximum be about 100 links per page.

The Perfect Sitemap

Building a perfect sitemap is a lot like building a perfect website - you need to account for contextual grouping of your pages, hierarchical linking between your pages, and most importantly, a clean, concise format that provides search engine spiders with a super-fast blueprint for indexing your website.

Thank you.Have a nice day.

 

Great info sources provided! Thanks!

 

This thread really helped me. Thank you!

I have been trying to submit a site map and google keep coming bakc with the following error

Paths don't match
We've detected that you submitted your Sitemap using a URL path that doesn't include the www prefix (for instance, http://example.com/sitemap.xml). However, the URLs listed inside your Sitemap do use the www prefix (for instance, http://www.example.com/myfile.htm

anybody any ideas

 

This link is broken. There's no such a page =(
Or am I doing smthing wrong?

 

You should first click "Web Spider" and after checking click "Generate". Worked for me.


P.S. I apologize for overposting. *shy*
