Meta tag is one technique often used by webmasters to optimize your blog or website on search engines or that are often referred to as Search Engine Optimization (SEO).

Well yesterday I've had time to discuss about the meta tags for keywords and descriptions. This time I will try to discuss about the meta tag for the Sitemap.

Sitemap is almost equal to the meta tag keywords and descriptions which serves both to simplify the search engine to browse and read the contents of our website. The difference is to add the sitemap search engine on our blog so if there are changes / updates on our website, search engines will soon find out and soon to index our pages in search engines.

Here I will explain how to add a Google sitemap and Yahoo sitemap on the blog because the two search engines is the most widely used by Internet users today.
