I am new to sitemaps but read up and used auditmypc to generate a map. I uploaded that to my main directory along with a robots.txt file. I also submitted the site to Google and verified it. I have a page allotted for a sitemap on my site. Is that usually reserved for a html sitemap? Do I need that page? What do you recommend I do? Thanks very much.
In your robots.txt add the following to the end... Sitemap: http://www.YOURDOMAINNAME.com/sitemap.xml Code (markup): This will allow other spiders to find it. If you have an html sitemap, keep it. It will help your users find things. Some people even make that their 404 page, so when people get lost, they can search to find what they need.
