It’s just a file that contains all the different pages on you website to help the search bots find all the different content… You can read more about it here: [http://www.sitemaps.org/protocol.html](http://www.sitemaps.org/protocol.html) Also in your robots.txt file you will want to include an entry that links to your sitemap.xml file. ---
