This is a file which can be submitted to search engines to get your pages indexed. There are two types of site maps first one is HTML site map and second one is XML site map both are really important and beneficial.
Do you mean that html site map is a built-in html link which is just like an instruction to visitors while xml site map is only for submission. By the way, is it necessary to put all the URLs into sitemap including the 404 Not Found ones or just valid ones? Thanks in advance!!!!
sitemap creation is most effective work of SEO. because sitemap is XML file. so Crawler firstly crawls XML and HTML file.it's most effective work of getting high traffic. there are three types of sitemap file. 1).XML file 2).HTML file 3).ROR file
I am using a e commerce package for inkcartridgedelivered.com but it does not create a sitemap for me like in wordpress, does anyone know where I can get one for my site? I need a link to a resource.
HTML site maps are also very useful for your user friendly, because they provide all links on your website and reduce bounce rate also. So they can be very helpful on large sites and XML site map tells the search engine about your all pages that makes high visibility in search engine.
By using webmaster tools you can submit the site map of XML to google search engine. So google will index the site.like that we can submit to other search engines also only XML sitemap.
My own opinion for sitemap HTML sitemap user friendly and very useful for your visitors it reduce bounce rate of your site and XML sitemap is most important part for our website because when Google Crawler crawl our websites so bots easily crawl our site. XML sitemap search engine friendly.
sitemap is really useful for our site as well as for search engines. HTML sitemap is useful for our site's users, they can easily find the pages of their choice. XML sitemap is made for crawlers of search engines, in a way to read each and every page and index and crawl them again after any updation in sitemaps.
Sitemaps will help the search engines crawl your entire site and will also help visitors find what they are looking for easily.
It's need for SEO purposes. I can't create a sitemap for my blogger site. Does anyone know how to create a sitemap for a blogger account?
