I've tested footer text on a site using a mix of keyphrases and human edited text, i.e. not just a mongy blurb and the homepage would rank for keyphrase "x" with the text I wrote in there. So she's wrong. I disagree completely with Ann Smarty.

When clients ask me about site maps, I have often said to place it at the bottom of the page, in the footer. If the website is too big, then a separate footer for each topical section of the website might be in order. I confess that I don't completely follow this dictum, but I do prefer more links directly from the home page, rather than less. I think Darren has it right.

I'm really a big fan of the big footer if you have a site with a lot of content. this "bonus navigation" is a big plus to certain types of readers, and since it's so low on the design, it's not a bother to people who don't really want to use it. more of my thoughts on the subject, if your interested: http://www.glennstovall.com/archives/designing-headers-footers-and-sidebars I recently wrote an article talking about navigation, and how to use sidebars, headers and footers most effectively.
