Hi
I have been hearing an awful lot about site maps and their varous functions. However, all the information I have been able to gleen is a bit vague or just downright confusing.
Does any one know of any decent tutorials that explains these things and how to build one to the correct standards?
Cheers

You can use Google's FREE sitemap builder to create useable site maps. There's other freeware out that'll do the same thing.

As mentioned above, go to Google and create a Google account and use their free sitemaps. You really need to have one of these as it helps Google and other search engines browse and index your site quicker and better.

all you really need is a txt file, check this out:

no problem!

What are site maps?

Site Maps are a nice and easy way to allow search engines to index ALL pages of your site.

search on google about "make sitemap" and you will find some nice websites who can make the sitemap of your website

i thought site maps are the links under your website , that appear in a search engine, that leads traffic to the more important stuff of the website not "Site Maps are a nice and easy way to allow search engines to index ALL pages of your site"?
