Google (XML) Sitemaps Generator for WordPress
This plugin generates a XML-Sitemap compliant sitemap of your WordPress blog. This format is supported by Ask.com, Google, YAHOO and MSN Search.
More information about what XML-Sitemaps are and how they can help you to get indexed by the major search engines can be found at Sitemaps.org and the searchenginewatch blog.
If you have questions about XML-Sitemaps or run into problems, have a look at my Sitemaps FAQ.
Note: The XML-Sitemap format was introduced in 2005 by Google and adopted in 2006 by YAHOO, Live and Ask.com so that’s why it’s often called "Google Sitemaps".
