# Google Sitemap Generator

According to [Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Site_map), "Sitemaps can improve search engine optimization of a site by making sure that all the pages can be found. This is especially important if a site uses Macromedia Flash or JavaScript menus that do not include <span class="caps">HTML</span> links.

“Google introduced Google Sitemaps so web developers can publish lists of links from across their sites. The basic premise is that some sites have a large number of dynamic pages that are only available through the use of forms and user entries. The sitemap files can then be used to indicate to a web crawler how such pages can be found.”
