Fellow warriors, good day to you all.

What in your opinion is the best way to create a good site map for Google and then submit in webmaster tools?

Is it as simple as creating a .html page with links to all pages of the website?

If you have a wordpress site then it is very simple. You just need to get the following plugin :

Yes, pretty much. There is a good article and video by Matt Cutts here:

The site also has a free generator that will generate an html site map from your root URL:

You may want to read this article first discussing all the various sitemap types:

(contains both explanations and code examples of all sitemap file types)

I like Dagon Design's Sitemap Generator because they create a sitemap that separates your posts by category and your pages. It's more user friendly, but to tell you the truth you really don't need to create a sitemap for humans they're really designed to make it easier for the search engines to navigate your site.

hello friend, creating a XML sitemap and submiting it to GWT tool help for proper webpage indexing in Google. Also, make sure to check http status codes of URLs and validate the sitemap. All top search engines like Google, Bing, Baidu, http://www.oko69.com ..... are pretty sensitive for sitemaps.

additionally, using a XML and HTML sites together can be more fruitful.
