XML Sitemaps

By spillitu | June 27, 2016

XML sitemaps are a great way to help google and other search engines like Bing and Ask to index your site.

There are a couple of great plugins that will create the sitemap for you.  The most popular is called Google XML Sitemaps by Arne Brachhold.  They currently have over one million active installs and a 5 Star Rating.   Another good plugin is Google Sitemap by BestWebSoft.  They currently have over 100,000 active installs and a 4.5 Star Rating.  They are both very simple to use and make it easy to add a sitemap to your root directory.  They also have the ability to update your Robots.txt document, the file that communicates with web crawlers and allows or denies access to certain pages as desired.
