Google Sitemaps FAQ

Google sitemap helps in crawling and indexing all the pages of the website by the search engines. Sitemap is a xml format file.

 

do i need to link my XML sitemap from home page?

 

thanks for sharing such a great piece of information, that is helpful.

 

I'm using a popular sitemap service to create sitemaps on my site and they're pinging Google, Bing, and Ask automatically. The problem I'm concerned about is that I'm on a SaaS (software as a service) platform and do not have access to my FTP to upload a sitemap.xml file or my robots.txt file to include a redirect.

Basically the sitemaps being submitted to the search engines is coming from another domain (http://www(dot)serviceprovidersdomain(dot)com/sitemap/50924.xml.gz) and not in my root directory.

Are there any experts out there that can let me know if my sitemaps are being indexed?
