Google Sitemap basics

This type of a site map is nothing more then a list of URLs for your website put in an xml file (sitemap.xml) with a pre-defined structure. For example:

        <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>



        <urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">



            <url>



                <loc>http://www.example.com/</loc>



                <lastmod>2005-01-01</lastmod>



                <changefreq>monthly</changefreq>



                <priority>0.8</priority>



            </url>



            <url>



                <loc>http://www.example.com/about.htm</loc>



                <changefreq>daily</changefreq>



            </url>



        </urlset>


        

The sitemap example above contains 2 URLs and all of the allowed optional tags: <lastmod>, <changefreq> and <priority>.

Google developed the site-map technology back in 2005 and since that it has been accepted and adopted by all other major search engines and by the Internet community. The main idea was to make web-sites more "Crawler-friendly" which would help search engines to do their indexing more effectively. This also gives a web designer an unique opportunity to inform Google about pages on his/her site which might not be discovered otherwise. Google Sitemaps can also provide search engines with some useful additional parameters: for each URL the webmaster can specify last modify date, how frequently the page gets changed (change frequency), and relative page's importance (page priority).

Following XML standards guarantees that any search engines (all of them - not just Google!) will be able to process your Google site map on any on their systems no matter what kind of software or operating systems they use. For the same purposes the file itself must be UTF-8 encoded.
