Site Map keyword count?

Our site map is filled with the proper page names for the pages on our site, such as "Brand X Widgets," "Brand Y Widgets," etc. Our two-word keywords appear numerous times in the text links.

Is this considered keyword stuffing by the major search engine spiders, and does this hurt our rankings?

Perhaps someone can sticky me an example of an effective Site Map as it relates to keywords and text links.

Thanks,

I have a similar setup, doesn't generate many hits, but thats ok, its just there for the spiders to pick up. I don't see how it could be keyword stuffing if its legitimate content to legitimate links, but I guess that is up to the SE to decide.

However ours have many keywords, with relevant links and I haven't seen any problems with it in the SE, like i said it doesn't generate many hits, but I wouldn't want it to anyways, just a nice index page for the spiders to crawl.
