Sitemaps are documents that tell search engines how to find the individual pages within your website. By providing the search engines with an updated copy of your sitemap you can ensure that they regularly find and index your new content and pages.

Without a sitemap, search engines may only find a small percentage of your web pages, as although you may have a links structure that human visitors use to move around your website, it may not be possible for the search engines to follow these links, meaning they cannot view your entire website.

One method of creating a sitemap is to create a simple page with a list of plain text links to all the pages within your website. Link this page to your homepage by a plain text link, and the search engines should find this page and be able to follow all the links. This manual method is fine if you have only a few pages, but if your website has hundreds of pages then this will be very time consuming.

A better, automated system for creating sitemaps is available through the use of Sitemap Generators. Sitemap Generators are software programs that scan your website and automatically create sitemaps (to the latest search engine specifications).

Some Sitemap Generators are available to use free online, while others are available to purchase and download.

CoffeeCup Google Sitemapper CoffeeCup Google Sitemapper is an easy to use sitemap generator. The program is installed on your PC, meaning you can have it up and running in about 2 minutes. The programs simple interface means you can create your sitemap in as few as half a dozen clicks. The program uses your internet connection to access your website and then follows all the links within your website, just as a search engine spider would. The only problem we have come across is when you try to index sites who's links are generated by javascript, rather than standard text links. The sitemapper simply cannot follow them. In conclusion, this is a great program to get you started with sitemaps, but is a little simplistic for larger, sophisticated site.
