Factors Affecting Web Site Indexes

• Size of site or portion to be indexed
• If anchors are already included in the coding
• Indexing depth (linking to top of pages vs. anchors)
• How updates will be handled (by who and frequency)
• If you will need written guidelines for updating the index yourself

Good Candidates for an A-Z Web Site Index

• Contain at least 25-30 pages
• Repeat users
• Static content or portions

Good candidates include educational, cultural, community, and public information sites. Examples include the New York State Department of Health A-Z index, SUNY University at Albany A-Z Index, and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System A-Z Index.
