Recommend a Google Sitemap Generator

[toocoolforschool]

Can anyone recommend a Google Sitemap generator that they've used, and knows actually works, and works well? Preferably one that isn't too complex to use. Either one online or downloadable.

Thanks.

I need one more post before I can post a live link...

[WebDesignPro]

Just one more....

It spiders dynamic content (php, jsp, asp)
It filters unwanted pages
It generates a sitemap.xml file
It generates a sitemap.xml.gz file
It can report bad links
It can ftp the file
You can review and edit your sitemap list of urls before submitting
It can anonymously ping the GoogleBot
Can create a sitemap of 50,000 links (will take a while to spider though)
You can save and reopen your project file.

This is what I prefer: http://www.xml-sitemaps.com/

[ukmp3]

We have been using the following : http://www.autositemap.com/
(http://www.autositemap.com/)

Very easy to use and does the job

I used the downloaded version at that one and created sitemaps for a site with more than 200,000 pages.

This one rocks...

Just bought the full version... Works great!

I'm using http://www.arnebrachhold.de/2005/06/05/google-sitemaps-generator-v2-final google sitemap generator for wordpress.

[Jim_Westergren]

I am using the free software from sitemapbuilder.net

[mortgage-pro-seo]

I really like this free php google sitemap creator (http://enarion.net/google/phpsitemapng/download/).

[drugoon]

Well I like this one: GSiteCrawler http://johannesmueller.com/gs/ (free, works ok, valid sitemap, a lot of options)

and http://sitemapbuilder.net/

And for WordPress users I think this http://www.arnebrachhold.de/2005/06/05/google-sitemaps-generator-v2-final is a very good plugin...

Just my opinions...

[thebassman]

Well I like this one: GSiteCrawler http://johannesmueller.com/gs/ (free, works ok, valid sitemap, a lot of options)

this is what I use as well... I just leave it running overnight, and when I wake up, it's crawled over 100,000 pages and placed them in my sitemaps... plus it's free, and the owner is constantly updating it. ;)

[marketjunction]

I just checked out the online version of XML-sitemaps.com. Seems pretty good.

Did the download version go pretty smooth?

[thebassman]

...and I'd be curious how well xml-sitemaps deals with dynamic sites with xxx,xxx pages....

[rdmedia]

I just bumped onto this one, gonna try it out:

[davert]

What is the advantage of all these over Google's free and rather fast sitemap generator? (That's a real, not a sarcastic or rhetorical, question.)

I was wondering that same thing when I saw Google has its' own generator.

I think it's something to do with how your web server is configured.

Google Generator is developed using Python so in order for you to use it you have to have Python installed on a web server and I found it hard to setup since I am not a Python developer. So I looked for others and I think CoffeeCup has a very nice generator. Very easy to use. I am at this moment using it to make a site-map for my MS site that has tons of pages and it's pretty fast.

[renoir]

Anyone know of a server side sitemap generator written in ASP?

[davert]

Thanks for the clarification. Yes, I guess no teveryone has Python.

this one rocks! thanks for sharing. :)

[J.P]

I've used http://www.auditmypc.com/free-sitemap-generator.asp in the past, java program but never had any problems with it.

[tanoanian]

I use coffeecup google sitemaper.

Great little app.

[thebassman]

linkage? ;)

[Kirchenbauer]

I use VIGOS Gsitemap. http://www.vigos.com/products/gsitemap/

It is easy to use and they submit it to Google, too.

Sounds good for me

see the post about angolizer
http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=37646&highlight=angolizer

i use it now for many months with full success on both dynamic and static pages

soon it is scheduled to have all versions/all formats of sitemaps
i.e. also the Yahoo preferred sitemap-format and eventually a plain html version of sitemap ( for MSN ? )

[DanInManchester]

Anyone tried G-Mapper the free Google & yahoo sitemap genrator (http://www.dbnetsolutions.co.uk/gmapper/)?

It doesn't spider sites it just indexes physical files on the local version then uploads the map.

For dynamic sites we hook up directly to the database rather than spider the site as it's more reliable and efficient. But we don't have any free scripts to do this as every database and URL syntax is different. But there are scripts available for common databases such as forums, etc.

I bought it last week, It's very useful and easy to used. http://www.xml-sitemaps.com/

You could try my sitemap creator (http://www.micro-sys.dk/products/sitemap-generator/) program

[hhheng]

Try this one www.hkhangfong.com/service.htm, easy to use. I use this online tool to make the standard sitemap and uploaded to google. Desktop version is also available at www.hkhangfong.com/service/freesoftwares.htm.

[baumann93]

I use VIGOS Gsitemap. http://www.vigos.com/products/gsitemap/

It is easy to use and they submit it to Google, too.

I use it tool. Really great tool.

[tayiper]

I use the one located at the "Mypagerank" site: http://www.mypagerank.net/google_sitemap_creator.html and the one that was already mentioned at the "XML Sitemaps": http://www.xml-sitemaps.com (http://www.xml-sitemaps.com/) ...


However note that both generate a "sitemap.xml" files that is not valid when processed with "Google Sitemap Validator": http://www.validome.org/google (http://www.validome.org/google/) (and I need to "merge" them to be valid in the end); see the recent Why two generators make totally different Sitemaps?? (http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=187420) thread that I opened here on Digital Point for details.

i have been using this for long and it is good. http://www.xml-sitemaps.com

I also use GSiteCrawler with the MSSQL server option. This is a very cool free tool, but it takes a little getting used to. If your site has 10's of thousands of links, get the MSSQL as that friggin MSAccess make my PC slooooooooow.

I like GSiteCrawler because:

It's a real tool that automates chore-like tasks
It can post the sitemap via FTP for you
It can split sitemaps for site that have 10 of thousands of links
It feature ridden, I mean filled...meaning you have to play to find all the features. What fun!
If you know SQL it can tell you all sorts of stuff about your links, Titles, page size etc. For example you want to know all the pages that your forgot to change the template title on
select Title, count(*) from URLs group by Title order by 1
Since it stores all relevent data on your URL's data in a SQL database, you can generate any kind of report you might want.
Using SQL server Maintenance Plan, it indexes automatically ...nice :)
It ran slow on Access with a 2GB access file. So far with V1.2 Beta SQL it's much faster
Generates robots.tx file -or- uses robots.txt to ignore pages.
