Sitemaps have been used for a long time on websites.
Originally they where simply a page on your site with all the sites pages listed with links going to each page. The idea was to place a link on your index page to the sitemap. This way your visitors could find it and use it like an index or table of contents in a book. Also search engine’s would follow the link from your index page and then be able to find and index the whole rest of your site. Many large sites still use (and should) this type of sitemap.

But in 2005 a new style of sitemap was introduced, the XML-Sitemap.
Google was the first to introduce the XML-Sitemap and naturally it wasn’t long before Yahoo, MSN, and Ask adopted the same format.

It was long after Google introduced the new format that Arne Brachhold
created the first Google Sitemaps Generator Plugin for WordPress.
Sitemaps and WordPress have come a long way since then, and the latest version of the Sitemaps generator has kept up with it all. I say latest because as of this writing the version is number 3.0.3 and was released on 11/28/2007. Read Full Entry
