Teuku.net - On this occasion I would like to provide a guide on how to make a sitemap for a blog, what is a sitemap? does it need to be put in the blog?
The sitemap is a fairly crucial part of the main structure of the blog. If you want your blog to get a high ranking on the SERPs, the sitemap can also contribute to the SEO strategy that you apply.
So, this time, I will explain what a sitemap is and what it does for your blog, especially in terms of SEO. Then I will also share how to make a sitemap so that the structure of your blog is more organized.
What are Sitemaps?
A sitemap is a map that describes each page on your blog. This map is not just a navigational element displayed under the header section. The sitemap is created in XML (Extensible Markup Language) format and is used by AI to make blog indexing easier.
Search engines such as Google use XML sitemaps to store web pages more efficiently, providing better results for users when searching for related terms.
What is the Sitemap Function for blog ?
The main function of a sitemap is to help maximize your blog's SEO strategy. As mentioned earlier, search engines use crawlers to crawl blog and index them all at once in order to better understand their content.
By providing this sitemap, your content can be indexed more quickly because crawlers will know where they should browse your blog. As a result, content from your blog can later be seen in search engines like Google when someone searches for certain terms.
The sitemap contains very relevant information about your blog, such as the frequency of updates, the relationship between one page and other pages and landing pages, as well as the level of importance of the page.
In fact, the sitemap will tell search engines that your blog does not have duplicate content, which is a serious problem in terms of SEO.
How to Create a Sitemap?
For Blogger users I will provide a sitemap which in my opinion is very simple and very light when running on your blog, please follow these steps:
1. Go to Blogger > Pages > then click on new page
2. Add the code below, previously please select HTML mode first
