Google Sitemaps

The Google Sitemaps program allows webmasters and site owners to feed it pages they’d like to be included in Google’s web index and the plugin I mentioned above is very useful as it auto generates these sitemaps for you.

Why you should have a sitemap for your website?

• Newly updated content will be crawled by Googlebots very quickly
• Improves search engine visibility as it will be able to go through all the pages you have created

How to use it?1. First, download and upload the plugin to your plugin folder - Link
2. Create 2 files called sitemap.xml and sitemap.xml.gz in your blog’s base folder. CHMOD them to be writeable.
3. Activate the plugin in Wordpress
4. Goto Options->Sitemap and click on “Rebuild Sitemap” and you’re done!
