| Most budding entrepreneurs will have a
puzzled look when you say something about a sitemap.
Therefore, we decided to help you learn the what,
where, when, how to and why you need a sitemap.
According to
Wikipedia,
A sitemap is a list of web pages on your web site
reachable by crawlers or users. This assists visitors
and search engine
bots find various
pages on your web site.
The answer is so simple it will confuse
newer web site owners as most think its some complicated
something you have to create when in reality - its just
another web page!
- When You Should Have A Sitemap
The actual point (in number of web pages)
within your site is the single most important factor used to
determine when you should create a sitemap followed by how
well you setup navigation from one page of your web site to
other pages within your web site.
A small web site (say 10 web pages or
less) would not need a sitemap since all your web pages
should be linked together from the main (index) page or
from another page that's linked to your index page.
This will be discussed after we get thru
explaining WHY you should have a sitemap.
Wouldn't you like to be able to show your
web site visitor all the different but (hopefully) related
web pages you have and what each one is about - just a
teaser of what its about so they would click on that link to
find out more information?
Bottom line, you want
to make sure visitors (human and search engine robots) can
reach your sitemap/site index page from any web page within
your web site and vice-a-versa. This is discussed in
another seminar called "Web Site Template Design" - keep
check
seminar scheduler for the date
this intense series (at least 12 weeks) of seminars will
begin.
(HINT: you will also receive a complete list of whitelisting
instructional web pages for many different email programs.)
