Nofollow
A backlink that carries the “nofollow” HTML tag. This indicates to search engines that should not count as a vote of quality for that site.
Some sites, particularly those with user-generated content, will mark all of their backlinks as nofollow, to avoid abuse of their content systems to generate backlink SEO value for third-party websites.

Sitemap
A structured file that catalogs and organizes a website, for easy, readable access by search engines.
A sitemap should be submitted to major search engines when you create a site, and also any time you have large-scale restructuring of the site. New sitemaps do not need to be generated every time a new page goes live. These will usually be crawled by search engines and added to the number of indexed pages on a site.
