The XML site map is used to ensure that crawlers can find certain pages on your web site, like
dynamic pages. The site-map file can be placed in the robots.txt file or you can submit it directly
to a search engine. Doing either of these, however, is not guaranteed to get your site indexed by
the search engine, nor will it get the search engine to index your site any sooner.
An XML site map also does not guarantee that all of the pages on your site will be indexed. It’s simply
a guide which the crawler can use to find pages that it might otherwise miss.
Creating an XML site map is the first step to including it in your robots.txt file or to submitting it
to a search engine. There are many sites on the Internet offering applications that will help you
create your site map. For example, Google offers a site-map generator that will help you create
your site map, once you’ve downloaded and installed the required software. But Google isn’t the
only game in town. There are dozens of other site-map generators that work just as well.
