How to create and use HTML Sitemaps and how would that help your website
An HTML sitemap allows site visitors to easily navigate a website. It is a bulleted outline text version of the site navigation. The anchor text displayed in the outline is linked to the page it references. Site visitors can go to the Sitemap to locate a topic they are unable to find by searching the site or navigating through the site menus.
This Sitemap can also be created in XML format and submitted to search engines so they can crawl the website in a more effective manner. Using the Sitemap, search engines become aware of every page on the site, including any URLs that are not discovered through the normal crawling process used by the engine. Sitemaps are helpful if a site has dynamic content, is new and does not have many links to it, or contains a lot of archived content that is not well-linked.
An example of HTML sitemap, created for xml-sitemaps.com: sitemap.html (separated with 1,000 links per page)

I love your online site generator. Finding your website ended many hours of struggle to understand sitemaps. It's so easy to use and the broken links function is extremely helpful.
Thanks again.

I have been using a ror sitemap that seemed to work well until recently, then Google reported errors on it that I didn't really understand. I found your online xml sitemap generator, created and submitted the sitemap to Google and within minutes they reported it as ok. I am so pleased, I am going to recommend your website to friends and also in forums.
Thank you.
I am extremely happy with your new "stand alone" Sitemap Script! The software is very easy to setup and use, even for a novice! I immediately found out that many of our sites had not been properly indexed since mid 2006!!! YIKES!
For the money, you can't beat this script!
Jerry Brooks,
What an awesome tool the sitemap generator is! I have two websites and even though I am not all that techno-savvy, I was able to generate and upload my sitemaps to Google in no time!
Without the Online Sitemap Generator Service I may never have gotten my sitemaps submitted. Thank you!
