Can anu body pls explain me wht is the main difference between html sitemap and xml sitemap..??

 

have you manually created the sitemap? Or are you using some sort of a CMS programs such as WordPress . The Main reason I am asking this is because if you use a plug-in of WordPress, that his priority assigned to different types of pages . So in other words, a page that might have a 20% priority level would not be indexed as fast as compared to any other page that has an 80 percentage priority .

The Sitemaps protocol allows a webmaster to inform search engines about URLs on a website that are available for crawling. A Sitemap is an XML file that lists the URLs for a site. .

 

A site map is a list of pages of a web site accessible to crawlers or users. It can be either a document in any form used as a planning tool for web design, or a web page that lists the pages on a web site, normally organized in hierarchical fashion. This helps visitors and search engine bots find pages on the site.
