What is a sitemap?

Answer by: George Kaloyanov, Aplus.Net Knowledge Base Support.

A Sitemap is an HTML page that lists links (URLs) to all the different pages in a website, typically organized in hierarchical fashion. A Sitemap page will help your visitors to better navigate within your own website. Sitemaps are beneficial in cases when it is difficult for users to access all areas of a website through the browse-able interface.

A Sitemap Page is especially important if a website uses Macromedia Flash or Java Script menus that do not include html links.

Aplus.Net now offers the Sitemap Builder tool that helps webmasters to generate a Sitemap HTML file and publish it to their website with a "click of a button".

The Sitemap Builder tool is included with the following Shared-hosting plans:
