Hey Everyone I've decided to manually make my sitemap, because of the sections of my site that have totally different purposes etc and because I couldn't find an online one that actually indexes everythig Is it acceptable to put plaintext into it , like in the code extract below, so i know which sections of the site are which? <urlset xmlns="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap/0.84"> Main GPearce Site <url> <loc>http://www.gpearce.co.uk/</loc> <lastmod>2007-12-13</lastmod> <changefreq>monthly</changefreq> <priority>0.0</priority> </url> Code (markup): Thanks in advance!
Hi, XML may throw parsing error, you can use A1 site map for making xml sitemap just search and download
You should of read my XML Sitemap FAQ on DP... http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=531765 Will explain how to create a correct site with freeware programs & sites that will crawl your ENTIRE site.
The way you intend to, it would be an XML error, so no. If you experience problems getting your website crawled, you can try check my article that explains how to solve most common problems (e.g. www vs non-www urls etc.) http://www.micro-sys.dk/developer/articles/website-scan-crawl-problems.php
Hello, Not sure if this website has already been suggested but I use this site it is free but only up to 500 pages of your site. You can pay if you'd like to have more pages indexed. It gives you directions on how to upload your site to Google: xml-sitemaps It's a dot com
Hi, If you're looking for a sitemap generator that will do everything you need, take a look at this thread and has an explanation too. http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=587678
We use gSitecrawler to create our site maps. I recommend using it or Thomas' above A1 Sitemap Generator. Both work and you don't have to worry about the syntax issues of xml.
