Generating sitemap.xml for the search engines
After you have created the site structure you can easily with the sitemap generator configure how search engines such as Google and Bing retrieve information about your site. You can manually change last edited day, how often you wish for the search engines to look for new or changed content and set other than the start page to have higher priority than a search engines default. Usually the start page has the highest priority.

<urlset> - Required - Encloses all information about the set of URLs included in the Sitemap.
<url> - Required - Encloses all information about a specific URL.
<loc> - Required - Specifies the URL. For images and video, specifies the landing page (aka play page, referrer page). Must be a unique URL.
<lastmod> - Optional The date the URL was last modified, in YYYY-MM-DDThh:mmTZD format (time value is optional).
<changefreq> Optional Provides a hint about how frequently the page is likely to change. Valid values are: always. Use for pages that change every time they are accessed.hourlydailyweeklymonthlyyearlynever. Use this value for archived URLs.
<priority> Optional Describes the priority of a URL relative to all the other URLs on the site. This priority can range from 1.0 (extremely important) to 0.1 (not important at all). Does not affect your site's ranking in Google search results. Because this value is relative to other pages on your site, assigning a high priority (or specifying the same priority for all URLs) will not help your site's search ranking. In addition, setting all pages to the same priority will have no effect.
