help please

Well that wouldn't be the correct link to the human readable site map Chuck but it's the right basic idea.  Sasha, find where the links at the bottom are being added, most likely somewhere in skin.php and simply add another one that points to site map following the format for the other links.

And it's appreciated sir believe me.

Dave will correct me if I'm wrong about this but from what I read your don't have to have a link to the site map on your page. The way the site map works is it is submitted to the search engines you select on the SiteMap page. (System Dashboard > System > Component > Settings > Extension Module: SiteMap). I assume it is submitted when the Cron job runs.

Have you enabled the Google Analytics? That doesn't have anything to do with the site map but it is a good tool for tailoring your keywords and tags.

You might also want to look into submitting your products to base.google.com.

Tell the search engines about your site using a site map is nothing more than a hint for them to use as they may see fit to crawl your site.  It does not mean that they will but, if they do, they'll know where to look.  There's no magic formula that says do x, y and z and you'll show up in the search engines.

It's a matter of well chosen keywords, patience and relevant content.  It may take 6 days, 6 weeks or 6 months before you see any changes in positioning.

Thank you all very much! Can anyone tell me where in CCP7 I can find the actual sitemap file (xml) so I can submit it to base.google?

Thanks Dave! Got it.
