To generate the sitemap.xml go to http://www.xml-sitemaps.com/ • They are uploaded to the server as ‘sitemap.xml format. This site map should be submitted to Google through the webmaster tools. • Get a google account - you can go to https://www.google.com/webmasters/ to create an account – its free, If you have an account, then go to the webmaster link. • Add your site, you can then verify it with Google but after the site is added you can look in the left side and see a link that says site configuration. Click on that, then click on sitemaps. This is where you upload the sitemap.xml file.

  38. Simple Test to Further Validate To help with validations is to know if your links are working. Take the Broken Link Test This test will look at the entire site for multitudes of elements.
