Creating Sitemaps.

[ankur0412]

How do you create sitemaps? Which tools do you use? Or do you use any website for that?

I personally use freesitemapgenerator.com for making sitemaps. They create good sitemaps and dun have any limit for the number of links. but you have to wait in a long queue for that!

I use a website creation software, which along with the pages, creates the sitemap also.
You can also generate sitemap for your website using
Create your Google Sitemap Online - XML Sitemaps Generator

I use an addon for Dreamweaver, it does the trick OK. I've started using another for Dreamweaver, just seeing how it goes.

I read a great post just yesterday on this very subject. I didn't know there was a difference between a sitemap and a Sitemap. No wonder I could never make head nor tail of what I read about them.

Sitemaps vs. sitemaps – Yes, Virginia…there is a difference

Before getting into the details and purpose of XML Sitemaps, it’s important to understand the difference between a sitemap (lowercase) and a Sitemap (uppercase). A sitemap is an HTML file, typically accessible to website visitors, which contains a link to each page of a site that visitors might find useful. It is generally a single page composed only of text-based hyperlinks that can be used to find a specific page more easily – such as a “Contact Us” or specific product page – without being distracted by website design elements or page layout. While search engines are likely to access an HTML sitemap during the course of crawling a site, this page is not constructed or intended for indexing purposes.

An XML Sitemap, on the other hand, is an XML file that is not intended for use by a website’s visitors, but by the search engines themselves. The Sitemap itself is a UTF-8 encoded file that is created specifically to help search engines more efficiently index all of a website’s pages – particularly those that may not be linked to by outside sources or through the site’s text navigation itself. Google follows the accepted Sitemap Protocol 0.9, as published by Sitemaps.org. It’s also important to note that what we are discussing here are standard Sitemaps. There are also Video, Mobile, News, Code Search and Geo Sitemaps that can be created for different types of content.

That's a good option, but too much time-consuming for a large site. Dunno, if it's that good.

And Kay, thanks, that was really useful! Never new there was a difference.

If you use wordpress, install the google-xml-sitemaps plugin. Once you initially set it up, it will automatically rebuild your sitemap each time you add a post or page, and ping google/msn/yahoo notifying them of the sitemap changes. I try to use wordpress for everything now.

There is also another worpress plugin called 'sitemap generator' that creates a Sitemap type listing of your posts which yuo can put on a page so that users can browse through them.
