We did research deeply about XML Sitemap to WordPress Website and we would like to share with you our knowledge on this blog post. We will talk about XML Sitemap, how to create XML Sitemap in WordPress and submit sitemap.

What is XML sitemap?

The XML Sitemap is a structured format that a user doesn't need to see, but it tells search engines about the pages in your site.

WordPress XML sitemap also tells search engines which links on your website are more important than others and how frequently you update your website.

How to Add a Sitemap to Your WordPress Site

There are many plugins to add a sitemap that you can find, but we will introduce Google XML Sitemap of WordPress. This plugin will generate a special XML sitemap which will help search engines like Google, Bing, Yahoo and Ask.com to better index your blog.

Your sitemap will be located at: http://yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml. This is the address you can use to submit to search engines:

•    Google: http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/

•    Yahoo: https://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/

•    Bing: http://www.bing.com/webmaster
