When attempting to elevate an internet presence, different ways can be looked at to increase internet traffic to help attain a high rank on search engine results pages. Sitemaps are a new, beta-type SEO tool that is often neglected. This great tool offers many user advantages as it improves visibility performance and it is expected to be even more efficient as newer version are released in the future. This may be more easily understood by comparing it to a traveler taking a new route. Because the route is new, all factors must be considered that may be encountered along the way. Following are some important things to consider when taking this new route to elevate SEO. Importance A sitemap or index is a map of page locations that users and crawlers (engine bots) can use to easily access internet pages. It may also be considered as a blueprint of a designer's work; when submitted to search engines, it will provide a guide to all web pages and any existing internal links within the website. Therefore, its main function is to provide easy access to all web page contents. Since it is literally used for easy internet navigation, it is important to be constantly updated in order to efficiently provide current detail to the spiders as they are crawling over the internet. Benefits Having a sitemap offers great advantages to any web presence. Besides visibility and easier navigation, there are many other important benefits to examine which are listed below. Communications - Search engines will be quickly informed about any website changes. It is certainly the best way for new content to be identified as accessible to viewers – and internet robots as well. It is most beneficial on websites that regularly update content. Backup - When a website has a sitemap, it can rely less on external back links. This is extremely helpful if any errors arise with internal links and minimizes the effect of orphaned pages or broken internal links as the sitemap is there to always provide access to every web page. Of course, linking errors should be searched for and repaired rather than relying on sitemaps for submission to search engines. Classification - Classifying the contents is also enhanced by having a sitemap, although search engines do expect all pages to be classified in a particular category or matched with a particular keyword. Design There are two ways to generate sitemaps: through Google Sitemap Generator or through any other available online tool. By downloading and installing this particular software, a user merely needs to follow installation instructions to create this wonderful SEO tool. The generator utilizes a Python script and Python 2.2, so the most current version may need to be installed to use this tool. Conclusion Considering all the factors discussed above, now is a good time to take this journey and direct search engines to a website by using a sitemap. Of course, finding a skilled captain may be necessary, so hiring a professional web designer can help make the sailing smooth and successful!
