In this issue, the editor will bring you the benefits and case analysis of putting the website map at the bottom of the page. The article is rich in content and analyzes and narrates it from a professional point of view. I hope you can get something after reading this article.

In the past, almost every website had a sitemap page listing all their pages. The role of the site map page is to help visitors and search engine spiders find information on the site. Now, many modern websites have removed site maps and replaced them by placing site maps in the footer area of the site. 20 websites (from large companies to small portfolio sites) will be listed to see how flexibly they organize their footers to improve the usefulness of the site.

The advantage of placing a site map in the footer is 1 to attract users to click and visitors to stay.

As you know, online readers don't read anything on the page, they scroll and scan. The footer was the last place they looked before they left. Placing a site map in the footer may attract readers' attention and increase the number of page hits and readings.

two。 Make sure your users don't miss anything.

Sometimes your visitors may be too lazy to click on the link to the site map page and miss something. There is a site map in the footer to make sure your visitors know every page.

3. Use your footer to promote related links.

You don't have to really list everything in your footer. You can use it as an alternative location to facilitate the reading of relevant important pages.

4. Save time for readers

There is a site map in the footer that allows users to quickly jump from one page to another.

5. You save visitors' clicks.

By placing a site map in the footer instead of a separate page, you save users' clicks.

6. Enhanced layout design

I don't know what to put in the footer? Sitemaps can be used to fill in to make your site look bigger.

Digg

Digg maintains and cleans up headers by placing only category content. The focus of the header is on the user, while the footer focuses on the company.

Mozilla-Firefox

Thank you for the sitemap. I only need a glance to know what's on the site.

Apple

If you have a huge website (in content), putting full Sitemap footers could be deranged? You can learn from smart Apple.com, split Sitemap to parts. For example, if you go to the Apple Festival, you will only see Apple's Sitemap.

GoodBarry

Although GoodBarry's footer sitemap does not list all the content on his site, it lists important parts of the content.

White House

On the recently revamped White House website, it has become easier to browse the site through drop-down menus and footer site maps.

Miro

The Miro website reads "Looking for something?" Text bar to separate footer site map

Six Apart

You can also use sitemaps to connect to your web sites like Six Apart. In the footer, blog section, there are some links to sister sites: Typepad,Movable,and Vox.

Clearspring

On clearspring, it divides its service into two parts: Launchpad and WidgetMedia.

SqareSpace

SquareSpace's sitemap tells you which pages have been visited. Please note that the web page you visit has a small detection mark instead of the frequently used triangle icon

SugarSync

The footer of SugarSync lists only the main levels of the site, while a separate site map lists all pages.
