Site Map

An automated Site Map page called 'sitemap.cfm' is used to help search engines effeciently index all site content. The page contains a link to every category, feature article, product, etc. on the site. The links on the sitemap page are constructed in a special "search engine friendly" way.

An "invisible" link to this site map is automatically included at the bottom of every page. Human visitors will not see the link, but search engines have no problem following it to quickly find every page on the site.

You can view this search engine site map. It may not be not pretty, but search engines don't care!

Site owners may also choose to include a site map page to assist their human visitors in navigating the site. You do this by including the Site Map system page in your page menu. You can include the automated site map on the page by selecting "Site Map" as the include template. You could also, of course, simply create your own site map in the editing box.

Very large sites will have a very large site map. To present the page list in a more managable fashion, enter 'navAlpha=1' in the parameters field to turn on the alphabetical navigation header.
