How to generate xml sitemape for an ecommerce site with more than 50000 pages?

[posy]

Hi, I am new to the forum and struggling hard to work on xml sitemap for an ecommerce site. Site is dynamic and more that 50,000 pages (including product pages).

Challenges I am facing

1. should I opt for category wise xml sitemap?

2. how to include new product pages (dynamically)

I was wondering if there is any tool that can generate xml site map online (I mean as soon as a new page is added to the site it will pick up automatically).

thanks

Hello,

I use http://gsitecrawler.com/.

1. I'm not sure what you mean by category wise xml, but your site map should include all pages and set up in a clean and organised hierarchy. http://www.clevegibbon.com/contentmanagement/2009/06/10/from-site-map-to-content-hierarchy/  If you have 50,000 pages, i hope you've set up your hierarchy because 50,000 pages is a hell lot of pages.

2. You can set up the xml file to update automatically as well; http://gsitecrawler.com/en/faq/info/automate/.

hope this helps
