Hi Friends I have a big smf forum and i want to buy sitemap software (for google) In general people use; A1 Sitemap Generator http://www.micro-sys.dk/products/sitemap-generator/ Xml-Sitemaps Generator http://www.xml-sitemaps.com/standalone-google-sitemap-generator.html Which product can i buy ?
Well, I make and sell one of the sitemapper tools you mention, so I will limit myself to give general advice. 1) Test a tool before you buy if possible. (And if not possible, check the refund policy.) 2) If you encounter problems, use the opportunity to see if you can get support 3) By the way: You may be able to find a dedicated SMF forum sitemap plugin.
Well, I hope you will consider A1 Sitemap Generator However, my suggestion is per definition biased as it's my product In general I suggest you try the different software alternatives that exist and contact each vendor if you encounter problems. I am sure other members here can chip in with more suggestions!
After trialling just about every generator that exists, I settled on AI Sitemap Generator because of its flexibility and the great support that Thomas provides. I have a client with 8000+pages and a very complex site structure; once you put some simple exclusion rules in place, A1 can rip the site in no time.
before buying anything try this free one http://gsitecrawler.com/ I've used it many time for crawling large sites
Will it work with big SMF forum with nearly 200,000 posts? Will it consume a lot of memory of the server during indexing/crawling?
Deff. Sitemap Writer Pro. It creates 6 types of sitemaps for google with millions of URLs, and the crawling is incredibly fast.
