    Different between HTML Sitemap and XML Sitemap ?

    I submit the sitemap but after testing from the webmaster it shows that the sitemap is HTML even though I submitted the XML sitemap. So, can you describe the difference between them ?

    The Primary difference between XMl sitemap and an HTML sitemap is that XML is primarily meant for search engines whereas HTML is written for users.

    The XML sitemap includes not only your homepage's URL, but all the URLs within the site along with the associated metadata.

    Basic difference between XML sitemap and HTML sitmap is that, XML site map are for search engine while HTML sitemap is for users.

    XML site maps are very important for the web-browser for ranking the web-pages because search engine used to get the pages form the XML sitemap.

    HTML sitemaps are just pages and it's information. It describe the general scenario of the site. HTML is important for the user and also important to track how visitors use your website as well.

    Hi

    The simplest explanation is that XML is primarily for the search engines while HTML is written for the users. A XML sitemap protocol is specifically intended for search engine spiders. At its root, XML is a file that includes all the behind the scenes activity on a web site.

    HTML sitemaps are designed for humans to navigate the website.

    XML sitemaps on the other hand are designed for search engines to know the site structure.

    There are two types of sitemaps XML sitemap & HTML sitemap

    XML sitemap is used for search engine robots

    It is a website file to tell search engines of all your site content and pages.
    It helps search engine robots to read and crawl your site more effectively.
    More pages index by search engines means to generate more search impressions and traffic.
    An XML sitemap is hard to read by a human.XML sitemaps can updated automatically

    HTML sitemap is used for humans

    HTML sitemap is well known by people especially by those people who are not engaged in internet marketing.
    This kind of sitemap is mainly used to help visitors of a website to find what they need conveniently or help
    the visitors clearly know the structure of a website.HTML sitemaps can not updated.
