How Site Map Improve Your Website Traffic?
Site Maps and their
Importance through the various
sections of your site and the other to provide search engines with a quick way
to find and index every page on your site. A static sitemap of all the web
pages on your site greatly improves the chance that all of your site will get
indexed by the search engines. A site map page is the best page to submit to
the search engines manually because it will include a list of all the pages on
your site.
All of your site map
links should be in plain text and point to every page within your site with
descriptive words that make it easy for both your visitors and the search
engine spiders to understand. Site maps are essential as an optimization
technique and should always be linked to from your index page or home page and
your site menu.
There are two ways
to build your site map, manually, or using a site map creation tool.
Manually create your
site map.
It is easy to create
a sitemap manually by using what is known as a nested list structure. You can
create one by using your WYSIWYG editor or manually using notepad. The only
drawback with creating your site map manually is that every time you change your
site, either adding or deleting pages, you will have
to manually alter
your site map to keep it relevant and up to date.

sitemap generators available for you to use, some free and some paid for. Using
