And will lose a few established free site map (Sitemap) website gone (seems to have including myself). Then, we will head covered, do not know how to do is right, everyone says there is submitted, but the effectiveness seems to see, WHY? Sitemap not finish because like with the program, which is also a strategic planning behind it.
Built according to different properties of different content Sitemap
Sitemap fact, there are many types, as long as they meet the Sitemap 0.90 specification , can be referred to Sitemap Site Map , which commonly are::
sitemap.xml (the most common format)
Correct compilation of rss.xml or atom.xml
Plain text file (urllist.txt)
I have the time in class with students would often say: "The Sitemap is like a real map, you go to a strange city, you will either need to buy a paper map is either need is to open the phone or GPS. But we all know, paper, although in general the map is fixed , but some new roads or newly opened stores, which may be updated information , or through the Google Map, or you can update the map data of the GPS would be more appropriate point. " to remember this, then, is aware of the main spirit of submitting a Sitemap. So we can know

Remember, not moving, compiled sitemap.xml, will move with rss submit .
