Is html sitemap helpful for SEO?

[hakcz]

I'm just wondering if the html version of sitemap has any benefits for SEO aside from being a navigation for users? I'm having a coverage issue in google webmaster tools when I include sitemap in HTML format so I disabled it. Are there any negative result in my rankings when I do this?

no html sitemap is not good try XML Sitemap and submit it in webmaster it will be indexed more faster than HTML or else HTML Sitemap is not indexed in google.

How do you know this for sure? I would disagree with you on this one, an HTMl sitemap is good, along with an XML sitemap as well. Why not have both?

You can add this code to your htaccess file (which has to be in root folder)

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^sitemap\.xml$ /index.php?eID=dd_googlesitemap [L]

Make sure mod_rewrite is enabled

Both HTML and XML sitemap is helpful for SEO.

There is no benefits for users nor for rankings... Both sitemaps are just for web spiders, but idk why you need both of them.

You're right, Both sitemaps have a positive impact on seo, xml is for the search engine, and HTML is for the user. and most search engines take the user experience into consideration, and check if your website has an html sitemap as well. they don't use it, but they want to know you have it.

Html sitemap is used to allow search engines to crawl better a site.people do not naturally visit HTML sitemap .it has no useful contents except if it is your blog

As far as I know, it's a https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/dudes-journey-to-1000-per-day.1061400/page-11#post-11968954 source.

If you are launching a new site with a lot of content, do not add sitemap at Google Webmasters. A sitemap will help you index the posts but it will also limit Google Crawl Bot Budget.

The best thing to do is to publish everything and then build some links or get ping service for your articles. You will see results at least 300% faster and wayy better than with sitemap included. Later you can add it like after 1-3 months, but also no need.
