XML SitemapsInstalling XML Sitemaps to WordPress
“Sitemaps are a way to tell Google about pages on your site we might not otherwise discover. In its simplest terms, a XML Sitemap—usually called Sitemap, with a
capital S—is a list of the pages on your website. Creating and submitting a Sitemap helps make sure that
Google knows about all the pages on your site, including URLs that may not be discoverable by
Google's normal crawling process.” !
www.google.com
Select the “Plugins” panel
Click the “Add New” button

!www.mysite.com/sitemap.xml
You should now see an XML Sitemap page appear. If not, please ensure you properly installed the plugin.
PermalinksChanging the permanent URLs to your individual
weblog posts
Permalinks are the permanent URLs to your individual weblog posts, as well as categories and other lists of
weblog postings. A permalink is what another weblogger will use to link to your article (or section),
or how you might send a link to your story in an e-mail message. The URL to each post should be permanent,
and never change — hence permalink.
A link that describes the content of a page is more likely to place higher in the search results verses a site
without a descriptive link.
In your WordPress dashboard, click the “Settings” panel.
Under the Settings panel, select the “Permalinks” option.
In Permalinks, Select the “Post Name” option. Don’t forget to click the “Save Changes” button when you are
done.
The links to your articles should now look like this: !
http://www.mysite.com/title_of_article !
and not like this: !
http://www.mysite.com/p=$123_$#%@#%#@^%^@#
Yay! You’re done!
