A sitemap can be very useful for both visitors and search engine spiders. I ran into a problem with my sitemap though. I used keywords in the anchor text on the sitemap links. Now the sitemap shows up in search results instead of the optimized content pages. It's nice that we at least show up in results, but with the wrong page it doesn't attract the targeted market and it ranks lower than the other page would. Anyone know how I can fix this? Is the only way to get rid of the keywords on the sitemap or is there something else I should try? Perhaps I should optimize the page for just the word sitemap with some larger fonts and also decrease font size for the terms that I don't want the page to show up for. Any thoughts on this? thanks.
