The Sitemap: Real Estate Internet Marketing Tip #47 of 100

Good search engine ranking can do wonders for a real estate Internet marketing program.

Real estate websites with excellent search engine ranking don't have to work as hard driving traffic, because the traffic finds the website. This is the real estate agent's dream -- to receive daily inquiries through a website because of its visibility.

But achieving that kind of search engine ranking takes time and dedication, for there are many steps to follow and tactics to implement.

An XML sitemap is one of those tactics.

Now before I invite confusion, let me clarify the type of sitemap I'm referring to in this article. Basically there are two kinds of sitemaps:

1. A sitemap that's visible on your website and intended primarily for people.
2. A sitemap that's not visible on your website and intended for search engines.

1. Go here http://www.xml-sitemaps.com/
2. Enter your URL in the box provided.
3. Click the start button.
4. When the sitemap is generated, download the first XML file.
5. Leave the file name exactly as is (sitemap.xml).
6. Put the sitemap in the root (main) level of your web domain.
