thank you very much. This informatiob is helpfull. I have been thinking about submitting my sitemap to google. Thanks again.

 

You can also add it to your robots.txt file. That way all the major search engines will be able to locate your sitemap.xml file. At the end of your robots.txt file just add:

Sitemap: http://yourdoamin.com/sitemap.xml

Code (markup):

 

The robots.txt method also works when your sitemap is hosted on another domain. If your site-builder service does not allow you to upload sitemaps, but you can edit your robots.txt... you can have another website host your sitemap for you.

Click the link in my signature for a sitemap service that does this for you.

 

setting up a google webmasters tool account is really useful too in keeping track of your sitemaps.

 

Adding to robots.txt is helpful for other search engines also

but how to submit wordpress site map to google ?

 

It's easy. Get the wordpress plugin called "Simple Sitemap XML Generator" or something.

 

I'm pretty new to this, but how does your sitemap help your website?

 

If you use sitemap plugin generator in wordpress, please check your robots.txt, Disallow / change Allow / if disallow your sitemap can't indexed by google.

 

I think that need robots.txt and sitemap in googl and in site for better index

 

Sitemap is a webpage of your website which contains all the site links categorized under different categories and headings. Sitemap can be a great tool for making search engines crawl throughout your site so that all your web pages get indexed and you get more visitors. Also, if you build a good sitemap it can become a great navigational tool for visitors to easily access the information they are looking for.

 

It is possible to automatically submit sitemaps by 'pinging' the url.

The application thesitemapper at http://www.thesitemapper.com is designed to automatically ping the search engines after it has created the site map.
