SEO Site Map

Hi,

I am using expression web and using the pre-built interactive image
buttons for a navigation bar at the top of the page. I am also
planning on using a text link navigation at the bottom of the page,
including a site map.

I understand that search engine crawlers don't see image links, and
the crawlers have a tendency to not crawl all the way to the bottom of
the page.

1. My first question is, would having a single text site map link
just under the navigation bar alleviate this potential problem of the
crawlers not getting to the bottom of the page to see the text links,
and thus not being able to index every page of my website?

My other problem is, I am concerned that a single link to a site map
just under my navigation bar will look out of place and detract from
the look of my design. I have also read about a technique called
hidden text used to create a high keyword density that disguises
keywords or links by making them the same color as the page
background, however the crawlers recognize this keyword stuffing
practice and will penalize the page rank.

2. My second question is, would using this hidden text keyword
stuffing technique to create a single invisible site map link under my
navigation bar be a problem in the same way as if I was attempting to
create a high keyword density?

I don't see that using this method for a different objective as being
a problem with crawlers and page ranking.

I would appreciate any comments on this concept or solution.

Pat
