SiteOrbiter is a great tool to see the cartography of any site. You put in a URL and let SiteOrbiter build a diagram of how all the pages link to one another. Then, you can maneuver thru a site by clicking on the different dots in the diagram.

If you are a developer or site webmaster, this tool will be especially useful to you. With it you can quickly find broken links on your site, export a comma delimited spreadsheet of the site characteristics, generate site maps in XML or HTML, and quite a few other fun things.

This freeware can also help you to see just how well your site is put together for Google. I imagine that the Google army bots search out a web site and smile on the ones that are abundantly linked and intertwined. So, when you run SiteOrbiter, you’ll hope that your site looks like spaghetti after it is cooked as opposed to when it is still lined up in the package.

(You can run his on other sites as well. You don’t have to be an administrator. It’s a very good way to find hidden pages on sites. Fun.)
