Most people know that site maps are good for improving the user experience: they give site visitors directions and help lost visitors find the page they want to see.

So what is a sitemap?

Before we begin to introduce the production and submission of the site map, we need to know what the site map is.

Site Map is also a sitemap, is a site all the links of the container. A lot of Web site link level is deep, spiders are difficult to crawl, the site map can be convenient search engine spiders crawl site pages, by crawling site pages, you can clearly understand the structure of the site. Site map is generally stored in the root directory and named Sitemap, for the search engine Spider Guide, to increase the content of the site's important pages included.

The role of site map:

1. For search engine spiders to provide a link to browse the entire site, simply reflect the overall framework of the site.

2. Provide some links to search engine spiders, point to dynamic pages or use other methods to compare hard-to-reach pages.

3. As a potential landing page, search traffic can be optimized.

4. If a visitor tries to access a URL that does not exist within the domain of the site, the visitor is taken to the error page where the file cannot be found, and the site map can be used as the "quasi" content for that page.

HTML version of Site map

The HTML version of the site map is a page that users can see on the site, listing links to all the main pages on the site. For small sites, you can even list all the pages of the entire site. For a certain size of the site, a site map is not possible to list all the page links, you can use two methods to solve:

The first is that the site map only lists the main links of the site, such as the first class classification, level two classification.

The second method is to divide the site map into several files, and the main site map lists links to that level of the site, stimulating the site map to list A portion of the page link.

Web site Map of the XML book

The XML version of the site map was first proposed by Goole, how to distinguish it? The above-mentioned HTML version of the Sitemap first letter S is in small print, the XML version of S is uppercase. The XML version of the site map is composed of XML tags, the file itself must be UTF-8 encoded, the site map file is actually a list of sites need to be included in the URL of the page. The simplest site map can be a plain text file, as long as the file lists the URL of the page, a line of a URL, the search engine can crawl and understand the contents of the file.

How to make a website map

There are many web site map generation methods, such as online generation, software generation and so on. Here is a small part of the recommended use of small reptile site Map generation tool: Http://www.sitemap-xml.org. Here's how to use it:

1) Enter the domain name, select the corresponding encoding of the site, click the "Generate" button (recommended to use Sogou browser or Google browser):

650) this.width=650; "src=" Https://pic.kuaizhan.com/g3/cb/d3/c446-394b-4ce7-8bd1-d33964cdae4b27 "style=" Background-color:rgb (255,255,255); "alt=" C446-394b-4ce7-8bd1-d33964cdae4b27 "/>

2) wait for the crawler crawling site, crawling time depending on the content of the site and the speed of the server is uncertain, if more data, it is recommended to operate after 10 o'clock night,

3) Download Sitemap.xml or sitemap.html files, upload to the website root directory, make a link on the homepage:

650) this.width=650; "src=" https://pic.kuaizhan.com/g3/92/06/e638-5ff5-421c-a68d-bfe323578b1986 "style=" Background-color:rgb (255,255,255); "alt=" e638-5ff5-421c-a68d-bfe323578b1986 "/>

Here you need to explain the difference between Sitemap.xml and sitemap.html files:

The Sitemap.xml file is created to be more useful for search engine crawling, resulting in increased productivity, and the Sitemap.xml file is then placed in the Robort.txt file after it is generated. Tips:

Good Robort.txt protocol can guide the search engine crawl direction, save spider crawl time, so virtually enhance the efficiency of the spider, also increased the likelihood of the page being crawled.

Place the Sitemap.xml and robort.txt files in the root directory of the Web site.

sitemap.html format of the site map is mainly used to facilitate the user's browsing, and can not play the role of Xmlsitemap. So it's best to have both.

4) Login Baidu Webmaster Platform, click "Link Submit", fill in sitemap.xml corresponding URL address,:

650) this.width=650; "src=" https://pic.kuaizhan.com/g3/a9/34/a622-ebf1-4bd1-ac72-fa5a34a1492779 "style=" Background-color:rgb (255,255,255); "alt=" a622-ebf1-4bd1-ac72-fa5a34a1492779 "/>

After the submission, Baidu search engine spiders will crawl our site. A large number of cases prove that adding a website can speed up the content of the website, improve the site inclusion rate. But this should be built on the site content quality in line with the search engine standards, if the quality of the site content is too poor, then the use of the site map is useless. The above is to make the submission of the site map of some sharing, but also the basis of the foundation, hope to be useful for beginners.
