Making Sitemaps visible to Search Engines.

[GoPantheoN]

Today I was searching for Webmaster tools page of different search engines and it was boring and difficult.

Then I found that was not necessary to submit sitemaps to each and every search engine. Instead we can make the sitemaps visible by just adding the following in robots.txt

Sitemap: http://www.yoursite.com/sitemap.xml

or just

Sitemap: /sitemap.xml

And if you want to add multiple sitemaps

Sitemap: http://www.yoursite.com/sitemap1.xml
Sitemap: http://www.yoursite.com/sitemap2.xml
Sitemap: http://www.yoursite.com/sitemap3.xml

I know many knew this, but just wanted others also to know this.
