Implementing a Sitemap
Text Links are the most basic link formats for search engines to index and follow, and the text in the link provides clues to help with relevant ranking. Ideally, these links should be key phrases. A common mistake is the use of Java and Flash links that, while having an aesthetic appeal, tend to be unreadable to search engines.
Another way to increase the SEO advantages of a sitemap is through the use of logical categories or groupings for your page links. These similar groupings create blocks of themed content which go a step further toward enhancing the relevance and strength of the keyword-based text links.
But aside from a sitemap’s physical characteristics, its placement on the server is also important. Sitemaps should be as easy to find for a search engine. This means a sitemap should not be buried in deep folders or on sub domains, but placed as close to the root directory level as possible. At root level, a sitemap is easier to find because there is less “digging” to do. And the easier it is to find, the easier it is to index the entire website.
Links to the sitemap should ideally be set up from all Web pages in a website. This is most easily accomplished by adding the link to a footer or header include. Theoretically, it is best for a sitemap link to be placed at the top of Web page since search spiders look at a page from top to bottom. However, some site designs do not allow for this. But, in most cases, footer links will be just as effective.
