What is a Site Map and why does my site benefit from one?
A site map is a linked, graphic or text-based display of a website’s hierarchy, similar to an organization chart. Typically, site maps break down a website’s content into increasingly specific subject areas to help the visitor understand its structure, from the main navigation pages to their subordinate pages. The main difference between a site map and a subject index is typically an alphabetical list, not a hierarchically structured set of links. A site map is a useful addition to a website as it helps enhance user experience and assists search engines to ‘navigate’ the site. A good site map ensures that all websites pages of your site can be indexed by search engine.
