Text sitemap and submit sitemap with Webmaster Tool
If google can crawl ALL of your webpages you do not need a sitemap. It is however possible that your web design is such that it does now allow google to crawl ALL the pages from the home page. Under such conditions you need a sitemap.
Here is a simple method to generate and submit your sitemap to google.
In a simple text file write one URL per line. For example:
http://www.ezdia.com/expert/vikasshukla http://www.ezdia.com/expert/alokjain
As per google, for best results, follow these guidelines:
- You must fully specify URLs as Google attempts to crawl them exactly as provided.
- Each text file can contain a maximum of 50,000 URLs. If your site includes more than 50,000 URLs, you can separate the list into multiple text files and add each one separately.
- The text file must use UTF-8 encoding. You can specify this when you save the file (for instance, in Notepad, this is listed in the Encoding menu of the Save As dialog box).
- The text file should contain no information other than the list of URLs.
- You can name the text file anything you wish. Google recommends giving the file a .txt extension to identify it as a text file (for instance, sitemap.txt).
The text file should contain no header or footer information.
You should upload the text file to your server. Once you’ve created this file, you can submit it as a Sitemap. This process, while manual, is the simplest and is probably best if you’re not familiar with scripting or managing your web server.
If you have not used the google webmaster tool I will suggest you do signup and use it. Here is how it looks like.
If you make changes to your Sitemap, resubmit it using your Google Webmaster Tools account.
