sitemap as a list
Your sitemap for the search engines does not have to be a fancy xml document. It can be as simple as a list of urls. A simple text file containing all the url’s within your website is all you need for a bare bones simple sitemap.
Something like.
http://www.example.com/contact.htm
http://www.example.com/about.htm
http://www.example.com/sales.htm
http://www.example.com/products.htm
will work just fine.
sitemap in robots.txt
