Five years from now the internet will be dominated by Chinese-language content.

Today’s teenagers are the model of how the web will work in five years – they jump from app to app to app seamlessly.

Five years is a factor of ten in Moore’s Law, meaning that computers will be capable of far more by that time than they are today.

Within five years there will be broadband well above 100MB in performance – and distribution distinctions between TV, radio and the web will go away.

“We’re starting to make signifigant money off of Youtube”, content will move towards more video.

“Real time information is just as valuable as all the other information, we want it included in our search results.”

There are many companies beyond Twitter and Facebook doing real time.
“We can index real-time info now – but how do we rank it?”

A sitemap is basically a page or pages that serves as a directory by listing all the links to all documents and files found in a website. It is not merely a random listing of links, but organized in such a way that it gives the web user an idea of how all the information that can be found in the site fits into an outline or framework. It is like viewing the table of contents of a book, or viewing the “concept map” of the site’s content.

Why should I use sitemaps?

No page will be left unturned, all pages of your website will be considered by Google and Bing for listing. This potentially increases exposure which equals higher traffic to your web site.
