How to Make XML Sitemaps
XML sitemap is this kind of sitemap: first introduced by Google in 2005, aiming at solving the indexing problem; consists of XML tags defined by Sitemap protocol; contains URLs and the metadata about each URL; tells search engine crawlers the last time a page was changed, how frequently it updates, the importance of this page compared with other pages on this website.
And xml sitemaps are very important to ensure the timely and proper indexing of a website.
How to make an xml site map? You can search on the internet and find standard sitemap templates, then follow them and use the correct tags to edit your sitemap, next add the URLs and their metadata to your sitemap.
You can manually create sitemaps as what has been said, but if the site has many pages (let’s say more ten pages), you may find it so tedious and troublesome to create a complete and invalid sitemap (you have to make sure that all the URLs are exact, together with the metadata about each URL).
If you want to finish this work effectively, then I think xml sitemap creator would be really helpful. Just give the creator a start URL and some required information, and let it automatically crawl your site and generate sitemaps.
In addition, some better creator may even do the sitemap uploading and sitemap submitting as well, so that you can greatly facilitate the whole work of sitemap building.
You can try to find a good one and enjoy the great functions of it.
