Dumb question i know! New to this my knowledge is lacking, help please! Will this help me verify my site(s) on google? A couple of my domains or affiliate links can these be generated too?
Asite map will help you no end and is extremely useful. Google prefer them to be in the root of the domain
upload it via FTP in your site root (main site folder), or use a programs like GSiteCrawler or A1 Sitemap Generator, configure them properly and they will automatically do the job. After that submit the sitemap in Google webmaster tools
Cheers for the help, can this be done with affiliate programmes with a purchased domain directed to th affiliate site?
The doamin root is as the name suggests, the main folder of the domain, the root folder that most other folder stem from. In the conventional ftp programme such as cuteftp etc the root is usually the public_html folder
If you veriy your site with Google Webmaster Tools you can define the location of your site map. The Root is certainly the most typical but you can choose something different if you like. Cheers!
be sure to also make a file, robot.txt that is in the same directory in that file have typed: Sitemap: http://www.domain.xt/sitemap.xml
