Online Sitemap Generator

[rhysmaster]

I have a site that has around 5,000 pages now.

Are there any recommened online free/paid tools to generate a sitemap for me?

You can try this one: http://de.linkvendor.com/seo-tools/extras/sitemap-generator,25.html

It's not an online tool, but Xenu LinkSleuth does a dead good job of making an XML sitemap.

No worries with a 5,000 page site, just let it do its thing and index away. Under File there's an option to export to "Google Sitemap File".

I've not used the linkvendor tool that Petra linked; but I've had problems with online tools skipping out on some URLs for whatever reason. Xenu's never let me down.

I use:

http://www.web-site-map.com/xml-sitemaps.php

The free limit is sometimes under 5k some times over. You can check the limit on the home page - it varies a lot during the same day.

Hope it helps.

I will just add that you need to be very careful. Maybe try the ones out that everyone has kindly suggested and then use SEOmoz Campaigns or other tools to check the quality of it.

This Whiteboard Friday post from last week has one of Bing's team pointing out how it is very important that your sitemap is of a high quality (no 404s, 302s or 301s for example), or it could be ignored completely:

You should try DYNO Mapper. It is a visual sitemap genreator that is good for mapping websites that are up to 25,000 pages. It is a paid tool, but their rates are pretty affordable. It generates sitemaps that include Google Analytics integration, content audit tools, and collaboration tools.
