As people have already mentioned a site map is important - but the site map also helps Google's spiders to crawl pages that it would not other wise crawl during it's regular indexing of your site.
So with a site map all your pages of your site get crawled. Thus helping with your sites ranking an authority index.
Thanks Leo. I realize that it's important too have, my confusion stemmed from the fact that knowing the sitemap is part of AIO, and yet people were posting here that you should add an external one.
At least with all the responses that I've received I now know that is not necessary.

Hello Lydia,
The sitemap is very important for Google and the other search engines, the All In One SEO Pack has been the SEO pack of choice up till now however I read such rave reviews on the Yoast SEO pack that I decided to give it a go and I must say that I am pleased with it.
Check out this:

I hope that this turns out to be useful to you.
Alles van die best vir jou en jou familie,
Miguel
Thanks for the info Miguel! I've also heard good reviews about Yoast, thanks for the link, I'll definitely check it out.
Lydia.

I was under the impression you did not need do a sitemap it gets done automatically, not sure how you submit it to google webmaster tool
I haven't submitted to Webmaster myself yet, Katie. I'm going to check out the link above that Miguel gave me and then submit. Will let you know how it went. Thanks for taking the time to read and respond to my question.
Lydia.
You do not need a plugin you can add a site map easily to web master tools it only takes 2 mins giving Google a site map to help crawl your site really does help Google rank your site
every little helps
Barry
I appreciate your response Barry, thank you. You're right, anything to improve the rankings. Lydia.
With the AIO SEO you have to enable the site map in the feature manager, then update the sitemap in the sitemap section under AIO SEO, it sounds complicated but not. You may have to use webmaster tools to submit the sitemap after that. But yes you should see an improvement on site performance etc.
The new all in one SEO has one installed already and is very simple to use. But you can install the plugin if you want just do not have both of them up at the same time. To use the one installed already go to your dashboard on your site on the menu yo your left onward the top you will see all in one SEO click on that and then go to sitemap tab it has easy to follow instructions. Good luck
AIO does contain a sitemap, the addition of another sitemap is not necessary. I'm not sure which pluging you are referring to, but if you have AIO, then no extra plugin is needed and can conflict with the one you already have in AIO.
I felt like my overall rankings did better once I put the site map in and thus my traffic also started to climb.

I am well acquainted with why Google bots crawl my site, but I have noticed quite a lot of facebook bots visiting lately. Can anyone tell me if it is of importance or not.
Face book and Bing have joined forces you can see Bing search results on face book so it is probably that
The more bots that crawl you page the better in my opinion
Barry
Thanks for that Barry, I had no idea. Some days there's actually quite a lot of fb bots around, very interesting! Lydia.

This seems like such a stupid question, but then again, I have learnt here at WA that such a thing does not exist! I know very well how to pin something to one of my boards usin
good question and see you have some advice hope it gives you the insight needed I will check out mackiejw link to wish you success with it

John
Thank you very much John! I've also just added a pinit icon to my taskbar as Shawn suggested. I'm learning so many new things all the time!
Lydia.
The way I would do it is make the pins appropriate if your pinning about dog posts Don't Pin Gold fish photo's if it's WA your promoting then I would choose photo's that resemble Online Courses do a bing or google search on Online Courses make sure photo's are in HD No one wants to look at a PANT'S photo that's not Pixel polished
I feel its NOT very wise to over do it on social networks if you post to many posts with WA affiliate links they start to get VERY Shitty
They have the button available for your task bar if you use chrome. This is how I pin everything from any source.
Hope that helps :)
Shawn>>
I'm a little lost here Shawn! I use chrome, do you mean pinit has a button available for my taskbar? How do I add it, from the pinit site?
Lydia.
Thanks a stack Shawn! It's done, I had no idea that their are so many apps available!

Where can I find the siterubix.com banner? It's not with the WA banners, I only have an affiliate link for it.
Thanks.
Lydia.
don't see one, you could just make your own or if you see someone's old one steal the time and or code
It's under the 'links and tracking' tab. The second paragraph 'SITERUBIX WEBSITE PLUGIN'. Copy and paste the code into the id tracking box, and copy and paste onto your website. Looks good!
Thanks Tommy, got it! Is there any way in which I can change the blue to black? Or is it the standard color?

Well it seems you got your answer. I might also suggest a plugin called "Cache Killer" linked below. It'll automatically make sure you're always seeing the most up to date version of the site you're on. The link is the Google Chrome add-on, I'm not sure which browser you're using but I'm sure there is a version or equivalent for others like Firefox.
http://goo.gl/STXjX
I've been having a better experience since I started using Google Chrome.
So Ethan, I don't understand what you mean by 'seeing the most up to date version of the site you're on' with the plugin you mentioned. Could you please explain more.
Thanks!
When you update your site, those updates may not be immediately available. This is why people recommend "clearing the cache" as a way to be sure everything is OK. The cache saves the website to allow for faster loading, but it could be the old version. The plugin forces the page to reload entirely every time.
This could be a browser issue Lydia. I had the same problem a few weeks ago. A cookie caused my social sites to log off automatically. Try to view your website on another computer or different browser if possible.
I had a look at your site and all the social buttons works fine on my browser. I also shared a few without any problems.
Hi Christine, I checked on Explorer and see the G+ there. Thanks a lot for sharing. Lydia.
You are welcome Lydia. BTW, you have a great looking website. Will definitely return to see more updates. Keep up the good work!
Sorry Lydia I can't help either but if we can get this discussion some exposure maybe someone can jump in and give you a hand.
Try and refresh your browser. Sometimes things disappear only for them to reappear when you refresh.
