Many new SEOERs often ask what a site map is and what effects it has. Because they see that website maps, Baidu maps, Google maps and RSS maps are often added to the bottom of other people's websites. These concepts are very vague, so today I will focus on explaining the meaning and related functions of each map, and how to make the corresponding website map.
1. Site map is mainly used for user experience. It is also called site map and website navigation. It is a static page with links to all columns or channels on the website. Sitemaps serve a dual purpose: not only do they provide search engine spiders with easy access to all pages on your site, they also provide easy access for site visitors.
2. Let’s talk about Google Maps first, which is generally in .xml format. Google management employees have a corresponding submission interface. If you want to be quickly included by Google, the best way is to create a Google sitemap. There are too many sitemap generators on the Internet. The better software is Site Map Builder. After downloading and opening the software, enter the target URL and click the button "Extract Links". The software will start to analyze all the links of the target website. After the analysis is completed, click File >> Save map as >.> Select the site map format you want to keep, then save it, upload it via FTP and it's OK.
Advantages: The biggest advantage is that the site map in XML form is written to facilitate spider crawling. It tells the spider what needs to be included, which is more friendly to the spider.
3. Let’s talk about Baidu Maps, which are generally in .html format. Simply put, it is a static page that places all the links of the website. Baidu did not have an entrance to submit sitemap before, and was only friendly to static ones. The Baidu webmaster platform has been opened. After obtaining the invitation code, you can directly try the .xml submission interface. Toxace is currently trying it, and the current results are good.

4. RSS map is also a podium page, commonly called rssmap.html. Similar to the first kind of website map we mentioned, in RSS, it will list the website columns and channels into categories. When the generated link is clicked, it will be a list of articles for the corresponding channel. The first type of map is optimized for users, and the link generated by the fourth type is a list of articles corresponding to the channel, which is easy for search engine optimization.
Excluding the first type of site map, search engine spiders 2, 3, and 4 like site maps very much. Site maps will make the website structure clearer so that spiders will not get lost. Websites can use different methods of site maps at different times, and the optimized search engines are different, so each needs to be adapted to its needs.
