Hi, One of my client has a site (using wordpress CMS) with huge number of pages like 100000 pages ... we have tried many sitemap tools but most of them didn't work. Can any one suggest me a good tool to create sitemaps for such a big site. Thanks in advance.
yes. I know that one. Anyone have experience with this standalone tool ???? is it works good with big sites ?
I don't think you will have any problems with A1 Sitemap Generator, at least not if you follow this article about crawling big websites.
If you are using wordpress, there is a plug in that will generate the sitemap straight from the database. You might try http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/google-sitemap-generator/ for starters.
I've just used GSiteCrawler for a 200,000+ pages website. Worked great, eventhough it did take a small lifetime to crawl all the pages.
didn't worked. it will eat server CPU and stopped after the limit. Even increasing the memory and time limit doesn't helped. I will give a try. I tried VIGOS Gsitemap 0.97a, after running around 25000 urls, it errored out and stopped working.
GSiteCrawler crashed once for me, but both the crawled pages and the queue was loaded up after the restart with no problems so nothing was lost. It did almost give me a slight heart attack though.
have you tried this wordpress plugin http://www.arnebrachhold.de/projects/wordpress-plugins/google-xml-sitemaps-generator/
read above. it was already mentioned by another member and i told that i already tried and it didn't work.
