Why Creating a Site Map for Site Is Important?

When a new website is launched, you may want it to be indexed quickly by those main search engines. However, there will be a time before a search engine visits your website for the very first time. When it lands on the website, the spider will move on throughout your site via the HTML links that are available on that page.

But if your web sites don't have site maps which is the summarizing of all the links of your site, the spider will crawl the pages one by one and this means if a spider lands on one of the main category pages, it can take a very long time for  it to eventually work its way down to the lowest level of pages.

In real terms, this means that some pages are never found by search engine spiders and never cached to be available in the search engine results. This is why creating a site map is so important - it contains all links to your pages in one place for the search engine spiders to find.
