Hello, Does anyone know how to generate a sitemap.xml page without having to write it manually? I found www.xml-sitemaps.com but it only generates it for the first 500 pages.... And it costs $20 for the whole thing.... Any free ones? My website has about 2000 pages... Thanks, Vlad
2000 pages? If your site was built correctly, i.e., it's crawler-friendly, you certainly don't need a Google Sitemap. It won't hurt you to have one, and you may be interested in Google's other Webmaster Central Tools, but having a Google Sitemap isn't going to get you ranked better.
There are lots in the net, hmmm, type in Google sitemap generator and look for the ones who can generate for more than a thousand urls. But I suggest build deeper links than just relying on your sitemap.
Visit sitemap.org it's a legitimate website created by Google, Yahoo, and MSN when they tried to make sitemap as a standard.
http://www.auditmypc.com/free-sitemap-generator.asp It's free,easy to use, online and no page limits.
there are many tools available for it.. but if you have 2000 pages then i m sure its a cms and shopping cart.. most of the cms, they have built in facility to create sitemap.. try to look at it.
