Do you have a HTML site map?

If not, create one. It's good for all search engines and people who use your site.

BTW: even if they support the Sitemap protocol it doesn't mean the pages of your site get indexed any faster.

i have created XML sitemap and submitted to the search engines like google , bing,ask. most search engines accept the XML sitemaps . if i create HTML sitemap that will be available on the websites navigation only .can i submit it to the search engines too.

No you don't submit a HTML site map. The search bots find it by themselves from your navigation.

Put your sitemap URL on robots.txt file, actually this is the another way to show your sitemap to google. But it is a best practice to give submit the sitemap on webmasters.

To submit sitemap in Baidu, you need to send a request mail first for the activation of sitemap tool. Once the tool is activated, you can verify the ownership the website by downloading the verification file and update your sitemap. Make sure that your sitemap can be in standard XML format or text format.

Put your sitemap URL on robots.txt file, similar to the way to show your sitemap to google. But it is a best practice to give submit the sitemap on webmasters.

Is there a wordpress plugin that handles this (like it does for Google Sitemap?)?
