      Hello, I have a site that does not have a blog feed.
      And unless it is done Manually there is no way to see the blog links.
      www.MigrationLawyers.co.za

      Now, I submit the the Sitemap to google, but will it be a good Idea to include an actual sitemap of the site (for example in the footer of the site)
      http://migrationlawyers.co.za/sitemap-immigration-south-africa

      and should i Make the "sitemap" link a follow or nofollow?

      Thanks so much in advance
      Nikita

        an html sitemap is always a good idea to be sure that google will easily find all your pages, however if you structure well your website being sure that all the pages are not more than 3 clicks away from your home google wille asily find them all.

          Hello Nikita,

          No, you won't have to link to the actual sitemap. It is enough to create it with some software or plugin (if you are using Wordpress) and submit it via Webmaster Tools.

            I agree with Baldea, adding an actual (XML) sitemap will add enough value to Google and will also provide you within Google Webmaster Tools with some information about your indexation rates.

            Of course the best way would be to just make sure all the pages on  your site are correctly linked to each other. Of course there are always some cases where you can't do that. In these cases I mostly prefer to use the sitemaps as well.
