    Default site maps

    Sitemap offers a boatload of advantages! Here are some of them. Sitemap:

    - Ensures better visibility by search engines
    - When you submit a Sitemap to search engines, you rely less on external links that will bring search engines to your site.
    - Helps with broken internal links or orphaned pages that cannot be reached in other way

    Sitemaps are particularly helpful if:

    - Your site has dynamic content.
    - Your site has pages that aren't easily discovered by Googlebot during the crawl process - for example, pages featuring rich AJAX or Flash.
    - Your site is new and has few links to it.
    - Your site has a large archive of content pages that are not well linked to each other, or are not linked at all.

    Post Re: site maps

    Hi,



    Sitemaps make navigating your site easier and having an updated sitemap on your site is good both for your users and for search engines. Sitemaps are an important way of communication with search engines. While in robots.txt you tell search engines which parts of your site to exclude from indexing, in your site map you tell search engines where you'd like them to go. Using sitemaps has many benefits, not only easier navigation and better visibility by search engines. Sitemaps offer the opportunity to inform search engines immediately about any changes on your site. Of course, you cannot expect that search engines will rush right away to index your changed pages but certainly the changes will be indexed faster, compared to when you don't have a sitemap.
    Also, when you have a sitemap and submit it to the search engines, you rely less on external links that will bring search engines to your site.

    Besides being economical, a sitemap serves two highly functional SEO objectives. A well-designed sitemap allows for search engines to easily locate and index all relevant pages of a website and allows for keyword reinforcement of pages through the use of descriptive linking text.

    A good sitemap will include many of the same features one might see on any keenly optimized Web page. For example, clean, uncomplicated coding is ideal. Keep any Java or CSS in external files and keep tables simple, if existent at all — CSS can and should replace tables when possible. Also, using Meta, Title, and Robot Tags will provide direction and clues to help search engines index and rank a page. Most important, however, is the use of text links.

    They say that site maps are very important for SEO, but at the same time I know many site which don't have any site maps at all and they have very good page rank and they concentrate more on the keywords and content of the site.

    One of the biggest advantages of the website sitemap is that it makes the indexing process of the search engine faster. It should be designed and developed in such a way that, every embedded hypertext should be properly defined. So that all the important internal links are brought under one umbrella. Above points clearly highlights the benefits sitemap, so always try to integrate the sitemap into your website.

    Having a site map for any website is good practice. This can not only improve visibility but will also let search engines know that the website has a lot of good content worth indexing.
