SITEMAP

Sitemap plays an important role for your website or blog’s SEO (Search Engine Optimization). Lets take an example to understand the concept. Whenever you purchase a book, you have seen that the book’s first page contain the indexing which includes all the information of chapters and like this its easy for you to understand which chapter is having what information. Same like this, Sitemaps is going to do an indexing of your website or blog and like this google can understand that your website is having what information.

Google introduced the Sitemaps protocol so web developers can publish lists of links from across their sites. The basic premise is that some sites have a large number of dynamic pages that are only available through the use of forms and user entries. The Sitemap’s files contains URLs to these pages so that web crawlers can find them.

Bing, Google, Yahoo and Ask now jointly support this protocol. XML (Extensible Markup Language) is much more precise than HTML coding. Errors are not tolerated, and so syntax must be exact.
