Sitemap importance on google

[derek88]

Submitting your sitemap is very important from a seo perspective on google and search engines.

You can submit it on the next url:

google.com/webmasters/


After that, they need a confirmation code to be added to your site,
this is achieved by adding a metatag between the head tags on your site homepage. The syntax for the tag is as follows:

<meta content="unique code advised by google" name="verify-v1">

I never really understood the whole sitemap thing, how do I make one properly? I think its just all the urls that go to different areas of your site correct? I honestly don't know a friend as always made my sitemaps and I just submitted them.

Yes thats what a site map is basically. Along with the urls that go to your site its a map for search engines to find everything on your site easily. So basically it shows search engines the path to urls that they may not originally pickup off your site.
