: Can HTML sitemaps be listed in robots.txt just like XML sitemaps? I will have two sitemaps for my website. The first sitemap is the .xml version for the search engines. The second sitemap
I will have two sitemaps for my website. The first sitemap is the .xml version for the search engines. The second sitemap is a sitemap.php on my website for the users.
I know I can list the sitemap.xml in the robots.txt file as follows:
Sitemap: www.example.com/sitemap.xml
Can I list sitemap.php in the robots.txt? Will it be read by the search engines?
Sitemap: www.example.com/sitemap.xml Sitemap: www.example.com/sitemap.php
Or would it be best to let Google/Bing etc. find sitemap.php, when and if it gets to the website?

Can I list sitemap.php in the robots.txt?
No, that wouldn't work. The XML Sitemap goes in robots.txt. The public-facing site map will be crawled by search engines like any other page.
