The root directory is the main directory of your web, where everything is
stored. Your index file is in the root directory, as well as possibly other
documents. All folders are part of the root directory.
To be directly in the root directory, it would be:
www.mywebiste.com/sitemap.xml

: Tom,
:
: I have followed all of Google's instructions. I get stuck when I get to
: this part:
:
: Q: Where do I place my Sitemap?
: It is strongly recommended that you place your Sitemap at the root
directory
: of your HTML server; that is, place it at
http://example.com/sitemap.xml.gz.
: In some situations, you may want to produce different Sitemaps for
different
: paths on your site - e.g. if security permissions in your organization
: compartmentalize write access to different directories.
: We assume that if you have the permission to upload
:
http://example.com/path/sitemap.xml.gz, you also have permission to report
: metadata under
http://example.com/path/.
:
: What does it mean to "place your Sitemap at the root directory of your
HTML
: server" Do I need to create a folder or a page and import the XML, then
link
: it to the index page?
