How to Make a Site Map

Webpage site maps are still a great opportunity to provide the web spiders and robots while crawling your site a quick one stop map to identify your page hierarchy. Many sitemaps can be auto generated using basic link checking software like Xenu Link Checker (a program I highly recommend and use often). But all site maps look the same, so this time around I decided to change things up a bit by creating a page I call Resume Writing Tips and Resume Articles, which is directly linked to the index home page.

I did this specifically for ResumeAdvantagePro.com because I wanted more then just a page call site map, and by putting the link text in my footer with the anchor text as "Resume Tips and Resume Articles". It not only allows this page to be associated with the link phrase but it seems to have more relevancy between the page name and the actual content provided. But then again, who knows. I still create and upload a sitemap.xml at least once a month to Google and put it in my root index for the web spiders to locate.
