Jeff Lash spots a trend: increased usage of the site footer.
He refers an early article of mine where I analyzed clickthroughs from a sitemap at the bottom of each page compared to the usual site navigation. Jeff implemented the sitemap on every page concept at XPlane - it's gone now. I had it for a few years on my Colombia site, but then I swiched to using Drupal as CMS and I haven't had the coding skills to re-instate it. I'd like to test it again at some point.
