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.
http://www.web-design-pros.ca/software/sitemapGenerator.html 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.
We have been using the following : http://www.autositemap.com/ Very easy to use and does the job eddie
I used the downloaded version at that one and created sitemaps for a site with more than 200,000 pages.
I'm using http://www.arnebrachhold.de/2005/06/05/google-sitemaps-generator-v2-final google sitemap generator for wordpress.
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...
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.
I just checked out the online version of XML-sitemaps.com. Seems pretty good. Did the download version go pretty smooth?
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.)
