The Busby SEO site map and Google

Many webmasters argue that including a site map allows users to bypass their well thought out navigation paths and that, therefore, users aren’t subjected to the full, all-powerfull magic of the site. Absolute rubbish. If your visitor cannot find, in a very limited amount of time, what it is they want, then they are going to leave-and probably not come back. If the Googlebot can’t find a way through your website then it’s not going to hang around too long either, and Google are certainly not going to contact you with a follow-up courtesy call just to check everything’s fine. You’ve had your chance.

By offering a site map, yes, some users might miss out on great offers, witty copy and stunning images, but they do get to where they wanted to go. They might still partake in your promotions and appreciate your huge range, just not right now. Be patient. Like wise, if the Googlebot can index your entire site, which it can do easily through a site map, then it is going to help you rank higher on many more keyword searches especially for “Busby SEO Test” maybe :) . And that’s what you want. Isn’t it? Google can’t follow your JavaScript navigation. Employing a site map ensures there’s an obvious link to every page and the Googlebot will take the easy route if a site map is offered. If your site map is accurate Google will index every page presented.
