Website map

A website map is a network of interconnecting pages within a specified website. A connection between two pages exists if the first page contains a link to the second page. You can use a website map to visualise the structure of a website. 

A website map can prove useful in many different scenarios:

• You can use the website map functionality to get a quick understanding of your site structure. For example, you can quickly determine which pages haven't been modified in the last few months or determine the number of 'clicks' a user has to use to reach a particular page.
• You can download and save a website map and use it as an 'Offline browser'for a particular website; allowing you to view the content for eachpage even when you're not connected to the internet.
• By selecting the 'Include Google Analytics data' option you can import Google Analytics information for each page inside the website map. This can be used to provide additional data such as the number of clicks on each page and the bounce rate.
• Omniscope automatically extracts the top keywords in each page. You can use this to get an understanding of the themes in a particular page without having to read the content or you can filter the data by a particular set of keywords, allowing you to retrieve pages of interest.

Options

Map configuration  

• URL(s). Enter one or more URL's to use as a starting point for the website map.
• Link depth (same host). This determines the maximum depth ofthe website map, i.e. the maximum number of pages out from a starting URL. Generating a website map for a very large site can take a longtime. You can use this setting in combination with the 'Max pages' setting to reduce the number of pages processed and speed up the overall map generation time.
• Max pages. 
• Include external pages. Most web sites include links to pages on other sites. If selected, this option includes pages from other sites referenced by links.
• Enforce tree structure. If selected, Omniscope will ensure the resultant map reflects a proper tree structure. If selected, and during the map generation process Omniscope encounters a page that has already been processed, it is not added to the list of links. The diagram below shows the difference between anenforced and a non-enforced website map.
• Exclusions. 

Page aliases 

• Use alias file list.
• Alias URL list file path.

Google analytics 

• Import Google Analytics data. If selected Omniscope will attempt to retrieve Google Analytics information for any of the pages encountered that belong to one of the sites associated with a Google Analytics account to which you have access. If you select this option then youwill have to enter a Google Analytics username and password.
