Hello friends, Can we instruct search crawler to sitemap location through robots.txt? How?

Yep. Put this in your robots.txt file:

Sitemap: http://www.example.com/sitemap.xml

Where example.com is ofcourse your own domainname

If this was the point everybody would do this. The only thing is that you point the crawlers/ bots to your website layout. Good traffic depends on the quality of your website , not if you add the sitemaps to the robots.txt.
