A sitemap is a structured list of all pages within a website. It is like the table of contents of a website and is crucial to website designing and user experience improving. There are two important reasons why you have to build a sitemap for you website.
On one hand, sitemap can be used as site navigation to improve user experience. If the URLs on your site are not organized in a clear and standardized way, visitors will feel very frustrated when they cannot easily find what they want, and then leave your site immediately, or worse they may lose interest in your brand ever since.
On the other hand, sitemap can help search engine bots quickly find web pages on a site and better grasp its structure and analyze its contents, therefore search engines can index web pages more effectively and give appropriate rankings to a site. A sitemap is especially necessary for those sites with indexing problems and thus can not achieve high rankings on search engines.
So, if you want to win popularity among users and search engines, it is very helpful to build a sitemap.
The programming language used to write sitemaps is known as XML. This makes it difficult for people who do not have programming knowledge of building a sitemap for their websites. Fortunately, the boom of auto site map creators on the market makes it easy. It saves the troubles to manually write an XML file.
There are many kinds of free software which only create low quality sitemaps or some so called high quality ones which are very expensive. Cannot find a satisfactory one? Your saviour to freely build a sitemap of high quality has come----SiteMap X.
SiteMap X is becoming widely popular recently for it is the most powerful sitemap creator on the market, and the most attracting point is that it is completely free. With SiteMap X, it will be a piece of cake to make a sitemap of high quality.
Next I will briefly introduce the functions of SiteMap X:
1.Sitemap Generator----Easy operation process and high efficiency of sitemap building. No need for any professional knowledge about programming yet the accurate and valid sitemap will be finished in up to one minute. You can choose the sitemap format and XML styles according to your own needs.

3.Search Engine Pinger----This is a vital function. Every time you change your website, it will notify the search engines, which will certainly speed up the SE indexing and improve SE rankings finally.
