if you are wondering what nice stats you can get from the combination of sitemap.xml + google webmaster tools figures. some time ago i did a little test with a site (500K+ pages) that had indexing issues. we sliced and diced that sitemap into a very very simple content quality metric (think char count of the main (medium unique) content) (the higher, the less content) this is what we got https://img.skitch.com/20120123-bm3jpjdtt4xrr2t2mxqnikmu54.png https://img.skitch.com/20120123-bm3jpjdtt4xrr2t2mxqnikmu54.p... then we submitted the same landingpages sliced and diced after URL length (the higher, the longer the URL) https://img.skitch.com/20120123-kqnnb15bj2puy2k276jiupxg12.png https://img.skitch.com/20120123-kqnnb15bj2puy2k276jiupxg12.p...
