How to choose between HTML and XML site maps

In the days of slowly contact build station, also began to learn to analyze how to make the site more easily included, this makes me think of it, in the beginning to do the site, always want to put those beautiful pictures and animations moved to the home page, since that do, can let the user come in and feel good pleasing to the eye, do not know, the original such "beautification" But Baidu spiders will be introduced outside the practice.

Until one of the predecessors after reading my website, feeling "you are really a rookie." That's why I'm starting to realize that the layout of the site has to decide whether to increase the flow of the importance of appropriate use of pictures to beautify the site is possible, but as a webmaster must understand that Baidu spiders can not read the picture content, that is, the spider is basically color blindness, and then beautiful, and then wonderful animation for it is a cloud. On the contrary, spiders prefer black and white. That's why we're always saying that it's important to keep updating the text every day, and that's why.

Have done a friendship link exchange of careful webmaster should be found, in general, the Network mall is often included less than the ordinary portal site, after all, in the online mall model, the image to promote turnover rate is very important. Of course, there are many shopping malls now recognize this, there will be such as forums, exchanges and other information channels as a content supplement.

In the process of building a station, we know that tree-shaped structure and mesh structure are easy to indexed. On the one hand, for users, can quickly find the desired content of the site, on the other hand, can make spiders crawl more continuity, crawling to more parts of the site. But the construction of a large web site, often do not have all the content to move to the homepage of the website. This time, we need to use the "site map" to supplement the content.

In the present I know the website map, there are 2 kinds. The first is the HTML version of the site map, and the other is the XML version site map.

From the attribute, "HTML version of the site map" is static, can also be understood as a static web page, usually, is the site will be the site of the section to do a comb, more common in the following figure shows:

　　

With this site we can know that this is a match to the navigation of the site. That is, the overall framework of the site to do a whole proofing. Spiders crawl here, know that the site has what kind of forum, easy to collect the site, and another great advantage is to facilitate the visitors to subdivide the navigation.

The "XML version of the site map" is relatively dynamic, can display the content of the site update frequency. The biggest advantage is that the XML form of the site map is to facilitate the spider to crawl and write, tell the spider, what needs to be included, for spiders, the friendliness of higher. The disadvantage is that the size of the file and the number of restrictions, so, in general, small and medium-sized Web site. In addition, the XML site map only to notify spiders have these pages in, and can not guarantee that spiders must be included, which is also one of the defects.

　　

Of course, different times of the site can be used in different ways of the site map, which needs to be needed. Should pay attention to as a new station, in the initial stage or to think good bias, after all, frequently modify the site structure will make spiders disgusted, easy to call back "observation period" oh. will be so much, nothing more than to tell the same novice friends, pay more attention to "site map", will bring you a good surprise oh.
