Can a sitemap make your website more attractive to a search engine web crawler? That’s the theory going around after a few successful trial runs which have been carried out recently.
A popular SEO blog has recently put together a trial where they added on a sitemap to six posts and left a further six posts without a sitemap. Their research found that when they submitted a sitemap with the post it took the Google bot 14 minutes to visit it and 245 minutes for the Yahoo! bot to visit.
Compare this to when they didn’t add a sitemap which took 1375 and 1773 minutes for Google and Yahoo! bots respectively to visit them.
