An often ignored, but important part of search engine optimization, is the sitemap. Given the intense competition for Google’s attention and the simple fact that your sitemap boosts SEO, can you afford to ignore it?
What is a sitemap?
The page or pages that contain a list of and link to all the other documents on your site.
5. The title of each sitemap link should be keyword rich and link directly back to the original page.
6. Include 10 – 20 words of text from the original page of content underneath the relevant sitemap link. This creates more content for search engine spiders and human visitors can see exactly what each page is about before clicking
7. Ensure that the look and feel of your sitemap page is consistent
Using a sitemap is a win-win situation for you, your website visitors and Google. There is absolutely no reason not to use a sitemap as part of your overall website promotion strategy.
