Hi! My name is Brian Pautsch. I am a web developer and work with a lot of customers...small, medium and large. Just like you, they want their rankings as high as possible on Google, Yahoo and MSN. Over the past 6 months, I have become somewhat of an expert at Google Sitemaps. I've become so involved that I have created custom software to help me and my customers with Google Sitemaps. A few days ago, I released a new version of my Google (and Yahoo and HTML) Sitemap Generator. It has a FREE trial mode that never expires. Please check it out today...it WILL help you with your rankings on the major search engines. The pay version adds a lot of preference options and give you more features, but you can build unlimited Google Sitemaps without buying a license. There is no catch...the trial ever expires. But after seeing the extra stuff you can get, you might want to buy a license.

To learn more about me, check out my site. Thanks, Brian Pautsch
There is a problem with the tool. The lastmod date is defaulted to the date the sitemap is generated. It should pick up the date from the server when the file was modified or leave it blank. The change frequency is also fixed as monthly. Personally I would rather leave these values out then put a fixed value on it. Sorry, the trial version doesn't generate a sitemap that I can use. But looking at the features you do offer, I think the licensed version will benefit those that have very large sites.
Has anyyone tried G-Mapper Google and yahoo Sitemap Generator? There has been 1000's of downloads but little feedback. It is only designed for static sites and requires the .net framework. I would love to hear from some existing users!
