Hi guys, I know this has been asked lots of times, but I'm a rookie. I would like to build my custom sitemap for my website. I want to include my website sections in the sitemap (e.g. Forum, Photo, Videos, etc). Like in the example below: How can I do that? Thanks!
Use a sitemap generator like http://www.powermapper.com/products/mapper/ads/site-mapping.htm?gclid=CLTl4o_SkacCFRNSgwodaxJicw
yes, but will the categories of the sitemap be random? I mean can I choose which categories to feature in the sitemap?
I am also interested to create such sitemap for my sites. But PowerMapper Pro Edition is quite costly for me. Looking for discount.
i have a question that what is the benefit of creating custom sitemap rather then creating sitemaps on different free sitemap generators like sitemapdoc and many more?
screenshot shows sitelinks, these are not related to sitemap. please read below help text from Google WebMaster help articles: The links shown below some sites in our search results, called sitelinks, are meant to help users navigate your site. Our systems analyze the link structure of your site to find shortcuts that will save users time and allow them to quickly find the information they're looking for. We only show sitelinks for results when we think they'll be useful to the user. If the structure of your site doesn't allow our algorithms to find good sitelinks, or we don't think that the sitelinks for your site are relevant for the user's query, we won't show them. At the moment, sitelinks are completely automated. We're always working to improve our sitelinks algorithms, and we may incorporate webmaster input in the future. There are best practices you can follow, however, to improve the quality of your sitelinks. For example, for your site's internal links, make sure you use anchor text and alt text that's informative, compact, and avoids repetition.
Try gsitecrawler it's free you can also customize what area of your pages you want to create a sitemap.
you can make it online from number of websites . One question i want to ask is, i have got my website cached on a particular date and there is a link to sitemap on that page but sitemap is still un cached , why so ?
