Converting html sitemap into xml

I have an sitemap.html and try to convert it to xml. Is there a tool to make it fast?
Thanks for any suggestions.

Chris.

 

I can create a sitemap.xml file quickly for your site. If interested please use the contact form on http://www.everypcneed.com.

 

Does this sitemap.html is written by hand?

 

You could let a sitemap generator program crawl your HTML sitemap. Then use the results to create the XML sitemap.

 

I have used this program:

http://www.xml-sitemaps.com/

it does both hands free

 

Thanks Paul, that sped up my morning a bit

 

I used sitemap generator but didnt like the order it listed my webpages in. I finally found www.freesitemapgenerator.com and i like their way of doing sitemaps.

I do not know if you refer to my program... But if you do:

Why do you care about the order of urls in XML sitemaps

 

I refered to www.xml-sitemaps.com. Well yes, maybe an order of urls do not matter. I just don know but found a generator listing urls in order according to their position on a website ( those on a main page get the biggest priority, those from 2nd, 3rd level smaller).

I do not know if it really makes a difference for Google but it can, otherwise why they want us to use <priority></priority> tags?

Listed order in XML sitemaps <> Priority values.

Concerning the order (as far as I know) :

• Has no meaning according to any published standard.
• It has never been hinted it should make any difference.

I wrote an article about priority values in XML sitemaps some time ago.

 

i believe the best sitemap generator is gsitecrawler . it's a fast sitemap tool it also creates rss feeds, yahoo urls.txt and google sitemap for your sites
