Create Sitemap Manually - Few Easy Steps


You can create a sitemap for google manually with the help of notepad.

Simple steps:


   1. Create a txt (text) file and save it with a .xml extension like - sitemap_april.xml.

   2. To begin with add the below code at the top of the *.xml file:

       <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

        <urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">

   3. Add the following to the bottom of the file:

        </urlset>

   4. Create an entry for each URL of your blog or website.

      <url>
          <loc>http://www.gyandope.co.cc/</loc>
          <lastmod>2010-01-18</lastmod>
          <changefreq>daily</changefreq>
          <priority>0.8</priority>
      </url>

<url>
          <loc>http://http://www.gyandope.co.cc/p/about-us.html/</loc>
          <lastmod>2010-01-18</lastmod>
          <changefreq>daily</changefreq>
          <priority>0.8</priority>
      </url>


   5. Upload your Sitemap to the top level directory of your site. Then submit it to Google using Webmaster Tools.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

        <urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">

<url>
          <loc>http://www.gyandope.co.cc/</loc>
          <lastmod>2010-01-18</lastmod>
          <changefreq>daily</changefreq>
          <priority>0.8</priority>
      </url>

<url>
          <loc>http://http://www.gyandope.co.cc/p/about-us.html/</loc>
          <lastmod>2010-01-18</lastmod>
