Sitemaps play a roll in letting the search engine understand exactly what is on your site.

Sitemaps are just like road maps. They tell anyone visiting your site exactly what is on your site and where to find it.

You can add sitemaps to your site by using a plugin like BWP Google XML Sitemaps. Once you have the plugin set up on your site, you will want to go to Google webmaster tools and add your sitemap to your site.

By adding the sitemap to Google, Google will then be able to spider the site and completely understand what your site is about.

The sitemaps record information like your pages, posts and categories.

They record all the meta information we talked about early.

Sitemaps are what allows users to find pages on your site more easily.

If you forget to use sitemaps, then all the other seo steps you have done are pretty much for nothing. It will take you a lot longer to get ranked.

Ok, so far we have covered meta tags, keywords and sitemaps. Now we are going to talk about Internal Linking.

That was awesome Eden! I'm glad to see other members spreading this great knowledge which we have learned here at WA and from other reputable sources.

If there is any improvement you think needs to be made to this training I would say maybe add a relevant image on each page. However even if you do not think you would want to do that, your content is still written well enough to make this a great training resource as it stands now.

Great job!!!

Good point, I have found adding images is good for SEO but they have to be done in the right way with descriptive filename, alt tags etc.
