Thanks for the information on pagination. I was actually finding ways to breakdown the long blog posts into smaller ones and I found the other useful wordpress plugin. I like the idea and installed it instantly. (Actually, the page-navi plugin was inside my blog for a long time but I never activated it. Thanks for the article.
By the way, for the site-map, I use the separate archive page instead. I use the Clean Archive Reloaded plugin and all my old posts are there, in the Archive page. The yearly and monthly archives are collapsible so it is really clean.

It is true that sitemaps are generally there for the bots, and if your site has many pages then they will not be very user friendly. Fair comment.

Another technique worth considering is creating a landing page which can be used for several ideas, such as highlighting some of your best content or helping users find the content they might be looking for.

Hmm, I’m not sure if I would agree with you. I mean honestly, if pagination was going to hurt your site when it comes to optimization… Do you really think that google would use the “gooooooooooooooooooooooogle” pagination when you search?

Also, most people do use the pagination to navigate through a site rather than trying to skim their way through a sitemap. Most generally sitemaps are there for the bots, not for the humans.

I agree that sitemaps and archive pages can be useful to humans at times, but most of us don’t use them on a regular basis… We’re all about laziness, so if we can simply click on 1,2,3,4,5,etc… and see visually what we’re looking for, rather than opening the sitemap and scrolling down endlessly until we find a text link that we “think” might be what we’re looking for… we’re gonna do it.
