What is Google Sitemap ?

One of the most common problems ecommerce web sites have with rankings is that portions of their web sites are not included in the search engines. The cause can be any of a variety of reasons like complicated URL strings to slow server response or lack of a proper internal linking structure. If Google can't find your pages, they won't get into the search results.

So Google Sitemaps tool that allows web site owners to create an XML or plain text file listing all or some of the URLs of a web site for inclusion in the Google index. Up to 50,000 are allowed per document and if you're over that, you can create another site map file.

In cases where a site might have some difficulty getting indexed, providing a sitemap to Google may assist in getting missing pages into Google's search results.

Google does not charge for this service and it's pretty easy to do in three easy steps. More information is available on Google Sitemaps at: https://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps/
