WordPress is a great blog tool because there are so many plugins available that allow you to customize and improve your blog performance. Here’s a quick and easy plugin I recommend you install and activate right now.
Google XML Sitemap
Having a sitemap makes your site easy for google to index. Sitemaps are just that – a map for search engines. They provide the text “map” of your site setup so your pages are more likely to get indexed by Google and other search engines. If search engine “spiders” cannot follow or read a link they do not index a webpage.
If you have a standard html website creating a sitemap can be time consuming, but with WordPress it just takes a few clicks.
1. Login to your wordpress account.
2. Select “Add New” under plugins.
3. Search for “Google XML Sitemaps”.
4. Install sitemap.
5. Activate sitemap.
You’re done!
All the best,
