My experience is that hardest part is marketing.

Yesterday I have launched https://submit-sitemap.com and I have shared link to it on various platforms. How much traffic I got:

- reddit - side project - 4

- hacker news - 11 (+2 from different aggregators)

- I have added link into 2 communities on Google+ with around 200k people - 3

- producthunt - 3

- Facebook where I have shared it in group with 5k people - 5

- StumbleUpon - 1

And I think that I can subtract 1 from these numbers since I have clicked on them myself to test if those links works. :)



Explanation for StumbleUpon is, that I am sending X-Frame-Options DENY, so it never loads there. This explains no traffic from there.


Are you sure sitemaps are important to website owners these days? I haven't heard anyone talk about them in a long while.
