Optimizing your Website: Include a Sitemap
Include a sitemap and every time you add new content make sure you link to it via your sitemap as well as from other relevant pages such as your index. This allows robots to find new content quickly so your pages will be indexed as soon as possible but it also allows your site visitors another way to find the content they're after!
