I was trying to index my website on Google and I came across "sitemap". To be honest, I've heard of the term before but don't really understand it. After conducting a few research I had better understanding of it and decided to create Sitemaps for my sites.
The problem is I only know HTML (pretty good understanding) and PHP (on the process of studying). If I got it right, sitemap in accordance to sitemap protocol is created using XML. I came across one option, which is using third-party software. Do you think it's a good option? If so, then do you have any suggested software? Or should I really learn to create a sitemap manually?
A little off-topic question: how long does it usually take for google to crawl into the site for it to see the keywords, etc.
Thanks in advance!
