Google Site Maps and why EVERY site should have one!

A sitemap is often overlooked, but it is very important for any site that you plan to monetize to have one. Considering the fact that "google" is the #1 site map in the world! It makes a lot of sense to have a "google sitemap", so that this search engine can easily navigate through your site. Did you know that NOT having a sitemap could prevent your website from being indexed? Yup! but luckily these days you don't have to manually build a site map, what I do is purchase my domain and webhosting package from 1&1 (their domains are SUPER cheap) and you simply go to your account settings and click build google site map, and there it is!

1) Navigation purposes

A sitemap literally acts as a map of your site. Chances are when vistors come to your site and it isn't user friendly, they WILL NOT return! I hate to be cynical but I am sure your site isn't the "only one", of it's kind...So it's your job to turn your visitor into a subscriber!
