What are the benefits having a sitemap?

Hi. Welcome to my Work from Home blog. I promised to continue on the subject of sitemap, and my article today is what are the benefits of having a sitemap? Well, 4 simple benefits basically.

1. No page is left unturned.

Search Engines would surely get to the view of all the pages of your site and not just the pages containing random keywords.

2. Easier navigation for site visitors.

Once a web user has accessed your sitemap, they need not go back to the search engine page to look for what they needed. If what they are looking for is in your site, then they would have an easier and faster way of getting to it.

3. Potential advertising value.

If it so happens that a relevant product or service company reaches your site, then it would be easier for them to see how best they can position themselves in the different pages of your site as a paid advertisment.

4. Encourage greater traffic to your site.

If your company website has a sitemap then potential buyers would have an easier time in accessing your latest products and services.

Well, that was short and sweet...stay tune for more. In my next article we will discuss, how are sitemaps formatted? If you want to keep up to date with my articles just click on subcribe to email.
