What if I don't have a Sitemap?

A sitemap is an important tool for optimizing your site for search engines. It helps search engines better understand the structure of your site and find new pages to index. Creating and submitting a Sitemap to search engines is a simple process that can greatly improve your site's visibility in search engines.

Classification

1. Site map (sitemap.xml, sitemap.txt). This type of sitemap contains all of the links of a website and is usually passed on to web crawlers for crawling. Let search engines index your site content.
2. Site navigation is needed mainly for users who visit the site. Links to websites are classified, sorted and displayed in front of the user.

Importance

1. Search engines allow robots to crawl the Internet every day to crawl pages. The role of the sitemap is to build a convenient and fast channel for scanning by crawlers, since the pages of the site are connected in layers, and there may be broken links. In the case of links, if there is no sitemap, the crawler cannot crawl the page due to dead links, so pages with broken links cannot be included.
2. The existence of a site map is not only to satisfy the browsing of search engine crawlers, but also to facilitate the browsing of the website by website visitors, especially for portal websites, due to the amount of information, many visitors use the site map to search for information that they needed, which can also improve the user experience very well.
3. A sitemap can add weight to a linked page because the sitemap is a link to other pages. At this time, the sitemap adds an import link to the page. We all know that increasing the import link will affect the weight of the page, thereby increasing its popularity. Weight, increasing page weight also increases page inclusion rate.

Implementation Method

1. Mention the most important key phrases in the sitemap text and hyperlinks to help search engines determine the topic of the linked page.
2. Give a brief introduction to each link to remind visitors what that piece of content is about.
3. Place text links to the most important pages of your site, depending on the size of your site and the number of pages, you can even link to all pages.
4. Provide a green channel for search engines so that search engine programs can quickly include core web pages.
5. When users are looking for relevant information they saw on the site, tell them how to do it. As long as you can get all the links to the content you want to find on that one page.
6. Help search engines easily index some dynamic pages. Because some pages will be generated dynamically and won't render unless driven by user behavior, you can place this link on your sitemap to help search engines index important dynamic pages.
