Provide an XML sitemap Search Engine Guideline

Description

Google and Bing recommend using an XML sitemap to increase coverage of your web pages by search engines.

Help

Once you’ve created and uploaded your sitemap, add the location to your robots.txt file, and make sure you use a full URL (e.g. use http://www.example.com/sitemap.xml and not www.example.com/sitemap.xml or /sitemap.xml).
