    <description>Can A-Z indexes hold their own against other popular navigational elements like search and sitemaps? Helen Lippell guides us through how the BBC online, a site with over two million pages, handled their own A-Z index.</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Nice article. Here&amp;#8217;s another resource: The American Society of Indexers as a web indexing &lt;span class="caps"&gt;SIG&lt;/span&gt;. You can check out their website at &lt;a href="http://www.web-indexing.org/" rel="nofollow"&gt;http://www.web-indexing.org/&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Great work, Helen. Thanks for this.&lt;/p&gt;

	&lt;p&gt;Wondering what the usage of the site index at the &lt;span class="caps"&gt;BBC&lt;/span&gt; is? Jared Spool has observed that few people turn to such indexes. See: &lt;a href="http://www.uie.com/brainsparks/2005/12/16/what-about-site-maps-and-site-indexes/" rel="nofollow"&gt;http://www.uie.com/brainsparks/2005/12/16/what-about-site&amp;hellip;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&amp;#8217;m sure many readers need a pretty solid justification to be able to tackle such projects for their sites. Seems site indexes are perceived as having limited value. Maybe they do?&lt;/p&gt;</description>
