A sitemap, the primary entity discussed in this text, is an essential tool that helps navigate users or software through a website^[2]. It exists in various types, such as the ones found on the main pages of English Wikipedia or Google^[3] in 2006. Some websites have user-visible sitemaps for easier navigation. An XML Sitemap, on the other hand, lists the site’s pages for search engines. Introduced by Google for web developers, these sitemap files contain URLs for web crawlers to extract and process data. While sitemaps are widely supported by major search engines and provide updated page information, they do not guarantee indexing. An example of an XML sitemap can be seen in a 3-page website. Overall, sitemaps, particularly in XML format, are instrumental in making websites searchable, even for non-HTML languages. The text also mentions related terms like Biositemap, contact page, home page, and search engine optimization^[1].

Terms definitions

1. ↑ search engine optimization. Search engine optimization, commonly referred to as SEO, is a critical digital marketing strategy. Originating in the mid-90s, SEO involves enhancing websites to achieve higher rankings on search engine results pages. This process is essential for increasing web traffic and converting visitors into customers. SEO employs various techniques, including page design, keyword optimization, and content updates, to enhance a website's visibility. It also involves the use of tools for monitoring and adapting to search engine updates. SEO practices range from ethical 'white hat' methods to the disapproved 'black hat' techniques, with 'grey hat' straddling both. While SEO isn't suitable for all websites, its effectiveness in internet marketing campaigns cannot be underestimated. Recent industry trends such as mobile web usage surpassing desktop usage highlight the evolving landscape of SEO.

2. ↑ website. This text primarily discusses the concept of a 'Website'. A website is a collection of interconnected web pages, usually including a homepage, located on the same server and prepared and maintained as a collection of data by a person, group, or organization. Websites are a cornerstone of the internet, serving as hubs for information, commerce, communication, and entertainment. They can have various forms such as business sites, gaming sites, academic platforms, or social networking sites. Websites have evolved over time, from text and static images to dynamic, interactive multimedia platforms. The development and functionality of websites are governed by web standards set by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). Websites are also influenced by advancements in web server technology and design principles such as responsive design.
