johnsmith153 Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 I am looking to create a site map to both aid the user and benefit SEO. (1) I will have something very similar to www.apple.com/sitemap (with a link to it in the footer of every web page). I'm just planning on doing a html page, nothing special. Is this a good way to do it? Does it matter? (2) Imagine a social network. If I did the Site Map like mentioned in point 1 above, would there be a benefit in adding some random links which would be to a randomly chosen list of forum profiles: So: Sitemap. site.com/about site.com/contact (etc.) and... site.com/robert-smith site.com/dave-brown (these links are generated server-side randomly) Is there a benefit to randomly add links like above - as this is to someone's profile I can't see how search engines would ever index profile pages. Imagine Facebook, how would use profile pages ever be indexed on that site? (3) As well as the site map for website visitors I will generate an XML one to submit directly to all the search engines. Is this a good idea? (4) A robots.txt file to tell robots where the sitemap.xml is. Am I on the right track? Have I missed anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
