How To Create And Submit An XML Sitemap To Google Webmasters

What is an XML sitemap?

An XML Sitemap  file is like a directory of all web pages that exist on your website or blog. Search engines like Google and Bing use these sitemap files to discover pages on your site that the search bots may have otherwise missed during regular crawling.
