I have a couple of thousand pages on one of my site, sorted by geographic relevance. It would take some time to do a sitemap by hand that covered everything. Is there an automation tool I should look into?
If it wasn't more than 1000 you could use BWDOW Google Sitemaps But for more than 1000 links you have to make it by a script or by site that i gave.( particularly)
If it's less than 1000 pages, you can use this online tool: Free Online Sitemap Generator, which can make a standard sitemap file for most major search engines, including google. If it's more than 1000 pages, you shall use the desktop version sitemap generator, which can make a standard sitemap maximum to 5000 pages: Desktop Version Sitemap Generator.
Here you will find a great resource for sitemap generator.... If you are creating it for the first time, take your time to read through it... ATB http: //www. auditmypc.com/free-sitemap-generator.asp [remove the space]
Or better yet you can code your sitemap page with php or some type of dynamic language. I do that with our site which holds almost 3K pages in content.
Am using a simple php script to create the sitemap every night. As content is stored in a mysql database, the script just loops through the database. e.g. top-invest.com has approx. 10K of pages Sincerely Helmut
