I have been using CoffeeCup Google Sitemapper to build a sitemap for Google as well as for the site itself. It’s amazing what gets revealed when you see the whole site at once!

CoffeeCup goes through and shows all the top level HTM files and builds a map of the structure. As I looked through the heading I noticed lots of inconsistencies. I used different names, different abbreviations, nothing had a Page 1, Page 2, etc next to it. Quite frankly, it was a mess!

With the map in hand I went through and pretty much renamed everything. I figure if I can’t visually make sense of this site, then Google and Yahoo will never make it through alive!

So now all the related pages have the same title, they’re numbered so you know how many pages there are, they have consistent keywords, and consistent page descriptions. Had I done this all along it would have only taken a few minutes to keep the site organized. But since I put 18 galleries up and didn’t check any of them, it took me hours to fix this nonsense.

I have also been using the CoffeeCup Sitemapper to create my Google and Yahoo sitemaps in XML format. It has been very helpful with that! You can exclude portions of the site, skip over PHP code and choose which types of files you want included. Right now I have over 550 pages indexed with Google and each time a gallery gets added or I make significant changes I make a new sitemap and submit it. I have to say, the CoffeeCup Google Sitemapper has been very helpful with this! I use it directly on the server to index everything. It parses through the files on the server itself and picks up on everything. To make the HTML sitemap it goes with the top level hierarchy and builds the map from that.

Since Expression Web doesn’t have a sitemap utility built in (I will now feign surprise!) this is a great little add-on. And for around $20 it’s a damn good deal. You can get the Sitemapper at http://www.coffeecup.com/google-sitemapper/. And as a real cool bonus and because I am an Internet Coupon Code fiend, if you use the code: 226sTs when ordering, you will save 20% off the total price. This coupon should work with any purchase. Since they make a ton of web apps and the Sitemapper is working so well for me, I’m tempted to try some of their other offerings. I might look at their menu builder if this site becomes a lot bigger. Sliding menus would be cool! 

Hopefully the site is stable now and will get better indexing and ranking scores with Google. It’s hard to find things when you have it all misspelled isn’t it?
