| Active Member |  Site maps When creating a site map what kind of layout do you use? I was thinking of a tree structure as it seems most logical. Should site maps be on a blank page or can you incorporate them into your normal layout, like where the content would be without affecting how a search engine uses it? Anyone got any ideas on making good sitemaps for search engines? |

| Senior Member | I would use something like this this http://www.webmastertalk.co.uk/archive/ . I reckon it looks good and is simplistic and easy for crawlers to follow.

| Moderator | Would your sitemap be used for your site visitors or exclusively for search spiders? If it is only for spiders, try the new Google Sitemap from https://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps Craig |

| *poke* *poke* | I heard of the new Google Sitemaps, but I can't quite figure it out. Links to a tutorial would be cool. (The one they have didn't do anything for me.) I finally just made my own for WordPress, it just lists all pages and posts, hopefully I can add date functionality to it. (Seperate them by month.) See it: http://www.mck9235.com/sitemap.php For me the only purpose is SEO.

http://groups-beta.google.com/group/google-sitemaps a generator that looks promising if you don't have Python I found here: http://www.auditmypc.com/free-sitemap-generator.asp supports up to 50,000 pages and an intro other than Google: http://www.searchenginejournal.com/index.php?p=1938 Google Sitemap For Idiots by Stephen Brennan from where I quote his opinion: "... Google, I imagine have become tired of crawling billions of websites, most of which are largely inactive or abandoned or both. So they are giving webmasters (website owners) the opportunity to play a part in the frequency and importance placed on the crawling of our websites. ... " Those Google sitemaps are NOT html, but XML or simple text files. | |

In contrast this one worked on first try, online, no download, no register, enter URL and two clicks and I could look at XML: http://www.sitemapbuilder.net/default.aspx I'll try now to download Google SiteMap Builder Windows Version (freeware)

Windows XP, 2000, 2003 .NET Framework Although the Features look tempting: Extract links from a site recursively Extract links from a single page Edit and delete link properties Generate TXT or Google Sitemap Save map as TXT or XML Generate a map from a text file Option panel for page time out and simultaneous connections Link Validator FREEWARE ?
