In how many ways we can submit sitemap of a website. What are different ways of Submitting a site of a website?
-
You can submit a site map in the following way:
Log-in to Search Console > Add a property > Enter your website > Afterwards you click "Add" button > you'll be taken to a page where you choose "Alternative methods" and then "HTML tag". Copy the code in between quotation marks after content > go to the Yoast dashboard > select "Webmaster Tools" tab > Paste the code you copied into the "Google Search Console" box > Save changes
Once you've added it to Yoast, then go to the Search Console > click the "Verify" button.
At this point, you've created your sitemap.
Now go back to the Yoast dashboard and click on "XML Sitemap". A new tab will open with your sitemap. The URL will be like "www.example.com/sitemap_index.xml" (example.com wil be your website name). Copy "sitemap_index.xml,"without the quotation marks.
Now go back to the Google Search Console. Click the "Add/Test Sitemap" on the next page. Put the "sitemap_index.xml" into the box, then hit "Submit"

In simple words, sitemap is a navigation to your site. It shows what are all the pages you have.

Submitting your Sitemap files to Google
1. Using Google Webmaster Tools
2. Listing Sitemap files in the robots.txt file
3. Using an HTTP "ping"
-
As Easton indicated, using Yoast is one of the easiest ways.
You do have to run on Wordpress and purchase the Premium plugin first.
Well worth the money if you ask me.

In simple terms, an XML sitemap is a list of your website's URLs. It acts as a roadmap to tell search engines what content is available and how to reach it. A search engine will find all nine pages in a sitemap with one visit to the XML sitemap file.
