What are Sitemaps?
Sitemaps are an eaSy way for webmasters t0
inform search engines about pages on their sites
that are available for crawling: In its simplest
form;
Sitemap is an XML file that lists URLs for

usually changes, and how important it is, relative
other URLs in the site) 50 that search engines
can more intelligently crawl the site.
Web crawlers usually discover pages from links
within the site and from other sites. Sitemaps
supplement this data to allow crawlers that
support Sitemaps to pick up all URLs in the
Sitemap and leamn about those URLs using the
associated metadata. Using the Sitemap
protocol does not guarantee that web pages are
incluced in search engines, but provides hints
