If I may quote the post How Much Ham is in Your Blog Comments?

This is a Boar’s head ham sandwich, coming in many flavors and variety! Sliced thick it can make a meal!

[grin] Readers will appreciate that you shared your experience on this topic. Very interesting that you tracked the before and after on Bing --- I love it when a story comes together! Thanks for the compliments.

I just recently added the Dagon Sitemap Generator to my blog, and I think it is a great add-on for any site. I think one of the main reasons the plug-in is so good is because it not only helps your visitors find things easier, but it really helps the search engine crawlers spider every aspect of your blog.

I seen a big increase in the number of pages indexed by Bing a few days after adding this plug-in. also, you can reduce the number of entries in your sitemap.xml file to keep only a certain number of your most recent posts (50 is a good number) to keep the file from getting to big. This can be important to reduce the load on your server when using the Google XML Sitemaps plug-in to generate your sitemap.xml file.

In the above scenario, The Dagon Sitemap Generator really shines, and it makes your site look more professional. Great post. I like your theme by the way.

Hi Suresh, Like you I prefer that type of navigation that gives me a birdseye and closeup view! Not sure why but the search box has not been returning the post I want even with the exact title… lol
Your Thesis design is very professional. I assume your sitemap is custom (has best of all worlds — except I’d like to see alphabetical list of posts, but that may be because I often search for things to put in draft posts)

What software do you use to make the YouTube tutorials?

Ryhen, you have no excuse since on Blogger you can display a great Table of Contents to show off all of your posts, sorted dynamically by category, title or date! It's not a sitemap but it can tide you over until you take the WP leap...

Plugins, plugins! Ahhhhh… WordPress seems to have it all. I’ve been longing to have a sitemap on my site. I got confused with the process when I started out with this crazy thing called blogging so I just set it aside. Maybe if I’m lucky enough to create a new site, I’ll use WP and this plugin. Thanks for the tips. =)

If you have a website and you do SEO for it to reach Google’s first page, Site map is very useful so it can easily crawl by seach engine just like Google.
