Seo Site Map
SEO Question: Do you think that link an XML sitemap for homepage? If not, what do you do?
I know that creating an XML Map the site is supposed to help your SEO. 1) What do you do with the xml file once you have created? 2) Is there any good / free sites that will help to create the xml file?
No, not linked to anything. Just create an xml sitemap compatible with Google and put it in the root of your web folder (ie, in the same folder the home page). I recommend the link below to generate the sitemap automatically. You should review the site map generated much attention. If any the missing pages? If so, then you have navigation problems are likely to result in use of JavaScript to their menu (not search engines JavaScript can be traced). Besides having a XML sitemap should include an HTML site map and link to it via a normal HTML link (not JacaScript) of your page home. This ensures that all pages of your site will be indexed (but not necessarily on the list) by all search engines. One thing you can do with the xml sitemap. Send directly to Google. Register for free Google Webmaster Tools (see the second link below) and submit the site map. While 're at it, do the same for Bing.
