Site Maps for SEO

[dark404]

Image XML Sitemaps

Provide data on site images and the page locations of these images:

<url>
<loc>http://www.example.com/mypage</loc>
<lastmod>2013-10-10</lastmod>
<changefreq>monthly</changefreq>
<priority>1</priority>
<image:image>
<image:loc>
http://www.example.com/images/myfirstimage.gif
</image:loc>
</image:image>
<image:image>
<image:loc>
http://www.example.com/images/mysecondimage.gif
</image:loc>
</image:image>
</url>

I have tried this. This is very good code and it works  properly.

A sitemap only tells crawlers where URLs live; it doesn't inject PageRank or build link juice. If your project has zero backlinks, thin authority, and no outreach strategy, Google will crawl it politely and still ignore it in the SERPs.
Technical SEO without real link building is basically cosmetic optimization.
