I really appreciate this post. I NEVER thought that hard about the sitemaps. I’ve created a couple, for google, but never kept up with updating or submitting anywhere else.

But I do have 2 questions:
Do you simply create this “human readable site map” and place it on your blog?

And HOW do you create the “human readable….”?

Thanks for the info and insights!

For a Wordpress blog there are plugins that make a human readable sitemap.

For Directories there are MODS. For other website types you can create them manually or use some kind of sitemap software.

Well man, I was always thinking that an xml sitemap would be enough. I did not look at that angle of pagerank distribution.
I will also be hosting a web directory and sure it would be very important that they all get more or less the same page rank.

For SEO purpose, there is two sitemaps that must be created : Human Sitemap and Engine Sitemap. As mentioned a readable human sitemap is meant for visitors’ navigation purpose. Engine sitemap is in the extension sitemap. xml and is meant for the search engine robots or spiders to navigate easily around the site.
