That's exactly it. The user should be able to find the link on the page or throughout the site as easy as it is in the site map. If it isn't make it so it is. I think most people will go elsewhere before using a site map to find what there looking for, which you came up for in some link or search...or they wouldn't be there in the first place.
Some of my website are old, large and does not have very good structure.
It would be of more value to fix the structure opposed to using a site map to help with that issue.
For those of you who use an html sitemap, do you use an online generator, or do you create one manually?
Sorry Marie for hijacking your thread. And I see your question still isn't answered.
