The next thing we need to do is install the sitemap. Here I used Xmap, which is Joomla! 1.5 native. You can install Xmap in the same way you would install other components in Joomla!. Once the installation is complete, the first thing is to set the configuration options. One of the things we need is the path to our XML sitemap. That link is needed to show Google's webmaster tools, where to find the sitemap.

You also have the option to Show Menu Titles and Include link to author for the Xmap component. I have opted for both, but you might decide otherwise. The best way to decide is to see how the sitemap page looks and if you like it that way.

If you have separate menus for pages such as your disclaimer and privacy statement that you don't want to include in the sitemap, you can exclude their Item IDs. Last but not the least, use the sitemap link in your robots.txt file to promote your sitemap to all Search Engine Robots that come along.

Make sure the statement is all on one line when you place it in your file.
