Sitemaps - 3rd Party Tools

[stephenmunday]

Maybe this has been posted already, but Google has a good list of third-party Sitemaps tools here, for those of us who are not really techno:

Thanks! Nice info!

[stephenmunday]

No probs.

I am using this one right now:

http://www.tarrantit.com/GoogleSiteMap/default.aspx

It is producing the best results for me of all the online tools I have tried from that Google list.

I just installed this here http://spamalertz.com/sitemap.xml
Downloaded this tool from here supports more files, then the one you are using it!
here is the link : http://enarion.net/google/

Thanks for the link. I am using the online one because I don't have a huge number of pages and I am not that techno.

[Imran]

I tried using the link which you gave! The site got stuck it could not generate sitemap
"too man pages". The second one which I'm actually using it now generated all use less pages! and left out the most important pages :eek: !
Looks Like I have to try somthing different to get a good sitemap! :cool:

Yea it is, I guess I should work on my crawler based one since I don't like any of the others.

While browsing through these sites I found this nice site:

THANKS GUYS! I love the links. BTW Anyone know how to get google to recognize backlinks to my site? I have a few people linking directly to my site without me, not reciprical, they link to me I don't link back to these kind. Just don't know why google hasn't recognized it. :confused: :(

Here is one for PHP BB (http://www.streetrod3.com/sitemap_mod.zip)

I'm also using http://enarion.net/google/

and like it for having the ability to exclude both folders and file types from indexing, then save the configuration in a 'settings' file.

Works nicely.

anyone find a crawler based script that will index at least 20K pages?

I used this asp version (http://www.iteam5.net/francesco/sitemap_gen/) to create my sitemaps. One site is database driven so I used the db version for that one. For the rest, I used the file scripting object version. With some work, I modified the files and they work like a charm. I hope this will get the sites spidered more deeply and more thoroughly.

Google doesn't show all backlinks. They only select certain ones to show, usually (but not always) ones with higher PR. There is nothing you can do to get google to recognize a link.
