How a sitemap can make you more money

A lot of people don't use site maps because they consider them redundant. They already have a navigation system and don't get it that a sitemap can make it easier for search engines to index your site.



For navigation a sitemap acts just like a map of your site. If the surfers come to your site and get lost because you have hundreds or even thousands of pages they can open your sitemap and see where they are and how to get to what they really wanted. It makes your site easier for your visitors to navigate.

Your sitemap should match the theme of the rest of your website. When your visitors open the sitemap they will see the overall picture of your site and there will be no need for them to go to each and every page to find what they want. Sitemaps will save your visitors time and that will make them more likely to buy from you.

Creating a sitemap means you are actually creating a single page which contains links to every page on your website. You should have a very prominent link on the first page of your site for the search engines. They will follow the link from your front page to your sitemap and then from there to every link on your site. This means every page on your site will get indexed by the search engines.

The best sitemap to use is from google. Go and read what google has to say about sitemaps and, if you can, use the one they recommend. If you can't do that there are many places on the net that will make a free sitemap of your site for you.

In only a few minutes you are going to have the 'Secret Weapon' your competitors don't want you to know about and using a sitemap of your own or generated by google is just one of them.

Your sitemap will give visitors a complete view of your site layout and when you need to add new content, pages or new sections you can make it easy for your visitors by adding the new things to the site map. This means you will have a completely organized site that's easy to navigate and everything is sorted by relevance for your surfers.

For the reasons mentioned above it's important to have a sitemap for your website, particularly if it is a very large site. Using a map this way you will be able to keep your site organized for everyone.

Because this site use the full menu on the left and every page is shown it doesn't really need a sitemap. It uses one click navigation to every page throughout the site. Visitors love one click navigation to get around.



Google and Yahoo both have their own versions of a sitemap and if you can make one follwowing Googles instructions that's great but if you want the xml version Google suggests this free tool will make it happen very quickly and easily. Best part is you install it on your PC and it does it from our browser. It's truly the easiest thing I've found.
