Can anybody recommend me a softwear to create sitemap?

[mihaelastam]

I am trying to increase my website traffic and I know that sitemaps are super important to google and not only. So far I spent some money on softwear from several companies and the results were terrible. Money spent on nothing. I really need sugestions from you because I'm feed up to spend money on nothing.

NB: I am not a programer or website developer so my knowlegde is rather basic in this stuff but I like learning new things.

THANKS A LOT!!!

How many pages do you have? If it's less than 500 (I think), you can use http://www.xml-sitemaps.com/ for free

Once it's complete, download the uncompressed file and upload it to the root directory within your hosting as "sitemap.xml". Then, go to yoursite.com/sitemap.xml to verify that it's working, it should just look like a bunch of code.

Or, if you're running Wordpress, download Google XML Sitemaps. It's a plugin that will create it for you and keep it up to date (unlike the site mentioned above).

Once you have your sitemap generated, submit it within your Google Webmaster Tools account. This will increase your odds of being indexed.

Does this help?

My website is big. More than 14.000 pages in this moment and is continuing to grow each day. My computer is a macbook.

Try using the paid version of the site I recommended. I'm sure there are other quality sitemap builders out there as well besides the one I'm mentioning.

Do you know something about this one:

I've seen it being recommended on codes.google.com.

For the one from xml website i was looking at it but I think the version they have does not work on Mac.

Thanks a lot!!!

Never heard of it or used it.

You just need a program on your mac that can read xml files. Download https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/smultron-5/id543634397?ls=1&mt=12.

This will allow you to read the xml file once you create it using whatever program you choose.

You could use A1 Sitemap Generator:

It's 30 days for free but i think it is worth every dollar/euro/pound you spend on it.

It also lets you create lots of differtent sitemaps (HTML/Google sitemaps divided in sitemaps of a 100 links each or one really big one).

Hope it helps you (or someone else)..

kind regards

Thanks! I just bought the one mentioned. I will let you know how it is....so far it has scanned 5065 pages and is blocked in an error I have to solve in the website.

I keep you posted.

On a scale from 1 to 10 how important is a sitemap for search engine?

Can I see huge improvements in the traffic after I upload it?

This information is invariably going to come too late to you now but I've used this freeware program with great success in the past:

Their website isn't much to look at but it really does work a treat.

Forget this tool. I have only trouble with that. The functionality is not even $5 worth it...and I payed $25 - stay away!
