Site map and SEO

[nelsoncobb447]

For those who need reminding or educating here is why sitemaps are important. When a new website is launched there will be a point in time when a search engine will visit your website for the very first time. Wherever the search engine spider lands is irrelevant, (homepage, contact page, it doesn't matter) the spider will move on throughout your site via the HTML links that are available on that page. Here is where the problem lies. If you look at your website files as a directory structure, your homepage and other main pages will be the top level folders which are all accessible via the main navigation of the website. Most websites will have a sub navigation of pages which are only accessible through links on a main page, e.g. subcategories list on a category page.

A site map is not only good for search engine spiders to crawl your page links and your entire site easily, it's a useful tool for your visitors that helps them to find the content page they're looking for.

XML and HTML Sitemaps are important in SEO.
XML Sitemaps are the list of url's in the XML format used to help search engine bots to crawl your website pages.
HTML Sitemaps helps visitors to navigate within your web pages easily.

A sitemap is a map or structured outline of a website's contents. It communicates the contents and purpose of a website to web users or search engines. A sitemap is usually a single page on a website that includes the site's sections, links and hierarchy.

A site map is a list of pages of a web site. They tell to search engines about URLs on a website that are available for crawling. This allows search engines to crawl the site more intelligently. This helps visitors and search engine bots find pages on the site.

The goal of the sitemap is to allow non-programmers to create web sites and web applications built from logic components and XML documents.

We call it Sitemaps. This is one of the most important and fruitful way to optimize a site. Sitemap is nothing but in simple terms, as the name suggests is "Map of the Site". Just as, if you need to roam an unknown city and you have a map of the city, so then it won't be that tough to roam. Similarly if you have a sitemap of the site, it makes the navigation of the site easier for the human readers and the search spiders.
