This is an insightful post filled with lots of advice. My blog has a sitemap though and there is obviously many reasons why every blog should possess a sitemap.
Thanks for your comment Emmanuel, some bloggers just ignore the importance for sitemap to their blogs
I have a small doubt, if one has already put an xml sitemap is a html sitemap too necessary?
hmmmmn, HTMl is kind of necessary at least to help you guide your readers around your blog
I did not much about sitemap until few months back when I read about it on net.I got a sitemap made for my blog from a professional.It is of great help for better indexing and visitor experience...
A sitemap is normally known as a file of the XML type which has the function of listing the URLs for any site. Nicely done, thanks for sharing.
