What is Sitemap – understand by example

For example, if I explain to you what is XML Sitemap, then suppose there is a huge house. You also know that there are many pages on a website. So if there are many rooms in a house, just like there are pages on a website.

And if someone comes to this house and he doesn't know which room is where. So you can well understand how much he will have to search and work hard to go to a particular room.

But if a map is put on the door of the house, whose name should be kept as a home map. So anyone can easily go to any particular room of the house by looking at that map. Not much time will be wasted.

In the same way, we give the map of our website to the search engine, which is called XML Sitemap. In which there is a list or map of all the pages. So that search engines can easily find and crawl any web pages.

 

If Sitemap will not submit. Google will not have a map of your site, so Google may be crawling your old page only and not crawling the newly published page.

 

Because even without XML Sitemap, your website will be crawled, but your website may not be crawled quickly. Because when Search Engine gets your just published page then only it will crawl. That's why we submit XML Sitemap so that we can easily give a map of all our pages to the search engine so that the website can be crawled and indexed properly.

 

To check XML Sitemap, type your domain name in the search engine, then put Slash (Sitemap.xml) and click Enter. As the domain of my website is dminhindi.com, then to see Sitemap, I will type in Google (seowithadi.com/sitemap.xml).
