      Hello,We can't seem to find a good auto generator sitemap program for our site. We tried using XMLsitemaps and GSiteCrawler, and both haven't worked well for us. Does anyone have any recommendations on a program? Or if anyone else had issues with Gsitecrawler and if you have any advice on solutions?Thanks!!

        Hi there,

        We use http://www.xml-sitemaps.com/ - good site for quick XML sitemap generation (up to 500 pages free, anything past that, you'll have to pay)

        Reliable and generates a well constructed map.

        Thanks

          Thank you for your advice JMcKaye! We tried that one and I guess it isn't compatible with our site/code for some reason...

          Thanks again

            What sort of problems are you getting with the sitemap generators that you are using?

              That product uses PHP, which is not a protocol we have enabled on our site, since we run Windows/IIS. Does anyone know of a version that will run on Windows/IIS?

              Thank you!!

                The xml-sitemaps.com standalone generator will work on Windows/IIS servers. More information here http://www.xml-sitemaps.com/documentation-xml-sitemap-generator.html

                Their Requirements page states:

                'The PHP XML generator will work with PHP 4.3.x or higher in default configuration in Apache web-server environment and on Windows/IIS servers.'

                Hope that helps

                  The problem isn't that their site is on a Windows/IIS server,  it's that the plugin is coded in php and their site isn't, so php isn't installed/activated on their server.

                  What cms/coding language are you using?

                    Hi guys,
                    I know this is an old post, but I was wondering if anyone knows of a free XML Sitemap generator for over 500 pages?

                    Thanks, Jon
