Locating Your XML Sitemaps

Follow

All Metro Publisher websites have two automatically generated XML sitemaps. There are various reasons why you will need to know the location of your sitemaps. These sitemaps are not intended for humans, but are very important for the various search engines to index the structure of your website.

To locate your sitemap for the structure of your content, you simply have to add "sitemap.xml" after your domain name. For example:

http://mywebsite.com/sitemap.xml

If you plan to submit your website to Google News, you will need to locate the news sitemap. To do that, you simply have to add "sitemap_news.xml" after your domain name. For example:

http://mywebsite.com/sitemap_news.xml 

If you have done this properly, you should see a page that looks something like this:

This example is from our Metro Publisher demo site: http://demo.metropublisher.com/sitemap.xml
