Do not think that this is not a part of the UE, spiders are also users, is our service object. And the spider to your website experience good or bad everyone should know the result.

So what factors should we consider when we are doing the website architecture to improve the experience of spiders? Think about the following three factors that you need to consider:

"Still do not know what is the site map of friends can go to Baidu."

The importance of building a site map: Site map is necessary for large sites, because search engine spiders crawl along the site of the depth of the most generally not more than three, and the large site link depth will generally be more than three, such as Sina: Home > News Center > Domestic News > News of the time file > Body. Because large web site information is relatively large, whether the starting point is for search engines or Web site access users, make a site map is very sensible.

Based on the special nature of the site map, once the search engine has included a site map, then the search engine spider program can be better to understand the entire site's architectural layout, it can follow the site map to provide internal links to search for other pages. If a website is indexed by search engines, the larger the number of pages that visitors find through the search engines, it is very helpful to increase the traffic of the site. Simply put, for "person" This user, index page is the homepage of the website, and for "spider" This user, Sitemap page is its homepage.
