At a minimum you'll want to inform robots of the location of your sitemap: `Sitemap: http://www.example.com/sitemap.xml`. Other than that you may want to sign up for Google Webmasters and whatever the Bing equivalent is to inform them of the sitemap if they aren't already indexing your website. – Sam Mar 27 '15 at 18:34

for creating this url "http://www.example.com/sitemap.xml" , do i need to create a action result or just copy this file to root folder of my application? – Hossein Panahloo Mar 27 '15 at 19:59

1Just copy it to your root (or any other location). Update the `robots.txt` file with the url. See http://www.sitemaps.org/protocol.html – Sam Mar 27 '15 at 20:10
