"A sitemap is an XML file on your Web site that tells
search-engine indexers how frequently your pages change and how "important" certain pages are
in relation to other pages on your site. This information helps search engines index your
site. The Django sitemap framework automates the creation of this XML file by letting you
express this information in Python code."
"In the grand Django
tradition, it's simple yet powerful and flexible. Just write a Python class and hook it into
your URLconf, and voila: You've got a sitemap. This was so easy to do
that we set up a sitemap for
djangoproject.com. It's something we probably never would've done otherwise, but it
was so easy to do that we figured we might as well. I suspect others will follow the same
path."
