What is a sitemap?
A sitemap is a model of the structure of a website, often this will fit on a single page, but if the site is large then several pages are needed. A good sitemap must be accurate, easy to review and to understand. Maps made in this way offer the user a helpful additional website navigation method.

Sitemaps also offer the user a top-down view of the site, it is often the only place a user can see both top-level and detail categories in the same place. If sub-sections of a sitemap are used then their content should be clear from the top level section.

Sitemaps are also very useful for search engines, particularly if parts of the site are dynamically generated. By providing a static link to individual pages some of the issues of using dynamic pages are overcome. Care needs to be taken in particular that the keyword density does not become too high and the size of the document does not become itself an issue with the Search Engines.

Google a leading search engine for example does not approve of pages with more than 100 links, or where the keyword density is too high.

Very large sites should also consider a site index, in the same way as a book contains an index of content by pages, so can a website index. We recommend using the format of a book, as user are already familiar with this format and its is a logical step.

A very good example of a site index is that used by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). Its visual design is easy to review, the use of alphabet letters at the top lets the user skip down to entries beginning with that letter, since the index is all on one page. This is superior to dividing the index into separate pages as it allows the user to easily scan the entries quickly.
Sitemaps and site indexes are forms of supplemental navigation. They give users a way to navigate a site without having to use the global navigation. By providing a way to visualize and understand the layout and structure of the site, a sitemap can help a lost or confused user find their way.

The format can be either graphical or text only. A graphical format has the advantage of being easy for human use, a text format is more search engine friendly, getting the balance right is an important consideration.
A sitemap should be placed in a consistent place on a website, for example the footer of every page.

Sitemaps are useful!
