Which is your favorite sitemap building tool.

Hello members,

Which is your favorite sitemap building tool.​

As everyone know that a sitemap is one of most important part of website. Sitemap is best method for submitting healthy links to search engines.

What I think one must go through a link analysis of website before building it. There are several tools which provide facility to build a sitemap. In my opinion we must build a sitemap manually, as we can clearly define meta data for each URL. Manual sitemaps takes too much of time particularly for large site with dynamic data, but this type of sitemaps really help in website optimization and search engine presence.


You can also create a sitemap with free tools . The drawbacks of sitemap built form software (tools etc) can include bad links to sitemap like 404 access denied, which can go against your website. One more thing, this type of sitemaps usually carries the website link of sitemap-generator host site. This is really bad.

Well I need a good suggestion. What is your preference, a manual sitemap or else.
Try to give some more alternatives.
Feel free to advice.

Thanks.

 

My Favorite is WonderWebware. Its really great. I will recommand it just for those who use vps or dedicated servers.

 

Is this tool able to create unlimited links in the sitemap or it has a certain defined limited number of pages?

 

If you're using Wordpress I would definitely recommend Google Sitemap Generator. I use it on all my WP powered websites and it works like a charm.

 

WonderWebware.

 

thanks, I found here wonderwebware.com/sitemap-generator/download.html

 

I am using
[h=2]XML Sitemap Generator for WordPress[/h]for my blog since 3 years, Its free and awesome .. Try this.. and let me know how is it

 

But if you are using other platform, then you must go on with google site map generator itself, as already someone suggested you above

 

i m using xml-sitemap tool.this is best

 

I don't know what tools you have tried:


but sitemaps built using e.g. A1 Sitemap Generator (and quite possibly other sitemapper tools, but I can't say for sure as I don't know) will not include 404 error, 301/302 redirects, canonical, obvious duplicates (like folder/index.html and folder/), URLs that meta refresh redirect etc. (But it will show you such errors and where from where those URLs are linked etc. but it won't include such URLs in XML sitemaps.)

 

i am using www.xml-sitemaps.com/

 

thanks, we must avoid plugin in wordpress as it slow down the website speed. In addition we have to give a backlink to the host plugin site.

 

Please provide more details for " google site map generator" .

 

Hi Friends, I Am Using http://www.xml-sitemaps.com/ For Upted Sitemap.xml File For My Site.And It's Really Very Good.I think That you All Can Also Check This minimum 1 Time.

 

I am using xml-sitemaps.com many time . it is best for me

 

thanks for all you people. but check following error after creating site by xml-sitemaps.com

<url>
<loc>http://example.com/</loc>
<changefreq>frequency</changefreq>
<priority>1.00</priority>
</url>

(a)this code is a part of sitemap created by xml-sitemaps.com. It got error, last mode date is missing. So, we have to fill it manually.
(b) frequency of all links are same.
(c) host site name in sitemap. <!-- created with Free Online Sitemap Generator www.xml-sitemaps.com -->

 

Like many above, I use http://www.xml-sitemaps.com/

It is free for websites with 500 pages or less.

 

Which is good xml or simple text sitemap?

 

WHAT !!! text maps ,,,,
see dear text maps are out of date. XML sitemaps are best one, as meta data for each URL can be specify.

 

Hi Folks, I'm using "http://www.check-domains.com/sitemap/index.php" tool to generate a XML Sitemap for my websites.
