Tell The Search Engines Where Your Sitemap Is

A while ago the major search engines agreed to use the same sitemap protocol. Now, you can add the URL of your sitemap to your robots.txt file, so search engines robots can easily locate where it is.

All you need to do is add something like this to your robots.txt file:

Sitemap: http://www.searchpath.co.uk/sitemap.xml (this is where ours is, just replace this address with your sitemap address.

If you want to find out how to format your sitemap, all the information you need is at http://www.sitemaps.org.

It is well worth doing this as it allows search engines robots to, more effectively, navigate your site and its pages.
