Sitemap is a representation of the architecture of a web site. It is very important for webmasters to create and submit the sitemap for their websites or blog because it improves search engine optimization of a site by making sure that all the pages can be found. Google, MSN, Yahoo and Ask jointly support the Sitemaps protocol. Earlier we used to fill out a form on the search engine’s submission page but now XML sitemaps have replaced the older method. Web developers now submit a sitemap directly, or wait for search engines to find it.
There are many online apps used for creating Sitemap, most of which involve expensive software, tedious box drawing, and other annoyances but WriteMaps provides an easy-to-use interface for creating, editing, and sharing your sitemaps. With WriteMaps, you can set up an account and work together on a centrally located version of your sitemap. Your sitemaps are available at all times from anywhere – so you need not to export your files and sending them around.
Below is a step by step process of creating a sitemap manually using WriteMaps-
Your Sitemap page
Visit sitemaps page after signing-in to WriteMaps, which the space will show up s a list of all of the sitemaps you’ve created. From there you can either open an existing sitemap or create a new one.
Building your sitemap
Click on “Create a New Sitemap” Tab.
Adding pages to your sitemap
Click the green plus icons on each page to add pages to your sitemap. The more you click an icon, the more pages will be added to that section. You can delete pages by clicking the gray “X” icons on the top corner of each page or simply choose to Undo.
Sorting pages in your sitemap
You can easily drag pages and drop them in other areas of your sitemap. Hold the left mouse button and move the mouse to do so. Anytime you can undo or redo changes.
View Options
While building your sitemap, you may decide you are more efficient working in outline view. By clicking the toggle link “Outline View” in the application’s task bar, you can change your sitemap from the tree-structured map view into an indented outline.
Page Info
Every page contains fields for URL and notes. This can be found by clicking the blue info icons on each page.
File Options
New application menus allow you to Save, Save As, Open, Close, Export, Import, and Share Sitemaps from within the application itself.
Sharing
You can share your sitemaps with colleagues or clients and choose whether or not you’d like it to be editable by them as well. The full control resides with you.
