Jared, Most of your inputs on Site map and SEO are well taken. I must say a good insight and a perspective to what i thought was always right. It is customary to put in "Site Map" as a link where I work but I feel its only essential if ever required.
And as you have said, "If users are going to your site map, then there's likely to be something seriously wrong with the information architecture of your site." summarizes the perspective the link "SiteMap" should really be looked at. There is this new "trend" of getting the site map below the fold by listing all the links in the web site but to me i see no point of doing this if the site as perfect navigation. I agree with you about the 'scent' part and it has indeed been my endeavor to instill in my peers this thought but not many would want to listen. That is why I had earlier a discussion about "search" (http://www.ixda.org/discuss.php?post=33254#33254) and the correct terminology or icon representation that could be used because I was searching for the same perspective amongst our community. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
