Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) and Sitemaps

A Sitemap is a map of your website with all your pages. A site map is helpful for people to navigate to a specific page within your website. Further it is an important tool for spiders crawling and indexing your website.
There are two types of Sitemaps, HTML and XML. HTML Sitemaps are for your customers, to navigate through your website. XML sitemaps helps the search engines to crawl your site and get the best possible rankings you can by letting the search engine see your website.
Every time you update your website, your Sitemap will be updated. The search engines will identify new content and it is an important factor to improve you page rank. Sitemaps are supported by most of the search engines.

Hello…what is the fun of sitting at home and working all alone on an impersonal machine? I am a very social person and like to get out and mingle. Maybe you should try some more, to convince a person like me to give up a day job. There are wonderful blogs on sites like how to make a lyric video,professional logo design which speak highly of work-from-home freelancers. I find them quite interesting to read. I will keep freelancing work for a rainy day. At present though, I am happy working 9 to 5.
