Please can I have some links to some very good sitemap generators, I am willing to pay as I have some fairly large sites with alot of pages.
GSite Crawler is by far the best Sitemaps software for Windows. It stores data into an Access or MS Sql database so you're able to reuse internal records with external codes, for example dynamic web pages. It is free and supports a few sitemaps "formats".
You can also try my sitemap generator program If you have a huge website, like 100,000+ links, I suggest you see this article on how to configure the program when creating sitemaps for large websites.
Well I had a look through them and I ended up buying the http://www.coffeecup.com/google-sitemapper/ one which seems to be doing a great job. Thanks for all the links guys, it was a great help.
Try this free online sitemap generator. It can make a sitemap file for websites less than 1000 pages. If your website has more than 1000 pages, you can download a free desktop version sitemap generator here.
100,000 pages should not be a problem if you follow these large website xml sitemap configuration guidelines. Especially the "disable tracking and storage of extended website data" option. What is the url of your website? When did you encounter problems? With what program and configuration?
This one will create a sitemap.xml regardless of how many pages there are http://devintelligence.com/SitemapGenerator/
I tried that, if you have less than 500 then your good however my site has over thousands and it's been over 24 hours and it's still running. This is what I get: 1,434 pages; depth 4 Warning: we found 8 errors on your site. Click on Errors to see the list.2x0, 6x403 never RUNNING ~44% <- over 24 hours and still this bs
I still suggest http://devintelligence.com/SitemapGenerator/ I have just completed another sitemap.xml for a site that has 3018 URLs. I let it run over night as I was also transferring files via FTP but it was completed and ready to be uploaded to the server first thing this morning. Rick
I am a newbies in this and just one question ... I need a sitemap for my forum. Are there any recomended to use on forums?
Test results: I am looking for the Sitemap Generator for my Conference. This is a forum containing more than 100 000 pages, but I decided first to play with some other small sites. I spent on it the whole day, so I'd appreciate your notes ... I took two programs [which were mostly recommended on different forums]: VIGOS - http://www.vigos.com/products/gsitemap/ CRAULER - http://gsitecrawler.com/en/download/ [let's use these names to be short] I'll provide the test results and let's think: www.com.ge VIGOS - all - 123; without gifs/swf ... - 119 CRAULER - Indexed - 87; not indexed - 59 Google sees [through site:www.com.ge] - 71 In VIGOS I understand, that there are total of 123 urls, 119 of which are actual pages. But in CRAULER I do not understand what indexed and not indexed mean. Please explain if you can. And why there are such differences in the total number of links? nic.net.ge VIGOS - all - 9; without gifs/swf ... - 3 CRAULER - Indexed - 4; not indexed - 6 Google sees [through site:www.com.ge] - 8 www.businessethics.ge VIGOS - all - 37; without gifs/swf ... - 28 CRAULER - Indexed - 41; not indexed - 15 Google sees [through site:www.com.ge] - 24 http://listing.marketing.ge VIGOS - all - 34; without gifs/swf ... - 31 CRAULER - Indexed - 34; not indexed - 11 Google sees [through site:www.com.ge] - none http://tbilisionline.ge VIGOS - all - 339; without gifs/swf ... - 292 CRAULER - Indexed - 295; not indexed - 1047 Google sees [through site:www.com.ge] - 137 Please explain why there is so big difference in figures Thanks
I use this http://www.auditmypc.com/web-master-tools.asp It works great on all the sites I have ever tested it on - even an article directory with 150,000 + pages...
I personally use Makeasitemap.com. It is quick and easy and works perfectly for my 7000+ page website.
