Hi,

I was wondering if you use (and what software is it) to create a sitemap?

I have close to 1000 pages and have no sitemap :-(

Thanks,
Keith

I wouldn't recommend using software - I especially wouldn't recommend listing 1,000 pages in the sitemap.

Make it overly easy and classify your site into bite-sized sections that make sense. Software can do it, but a human can do it better. Think in terms of your site visitors and what they'll be looking for, then create it around their needs. The last thing you want to do to a visitor is just "dump" links to all of your pages on a sitemap.

Actually, my need for it isn't to be seen by anyone. I just need a tool that can do it.

Thanks,
Keith

In that case, you may want to check out "Xenu's link slueth." It spiders a domain, checks for broken links and creates a sitemap by page title.

Keith, didn't you just post a site map creator tool in another thread? What is it you're trying to accomplish here, may I ask you that?

So far, your posts have been misinformed, and often out right wrong. I'm getting a bit annoyed at this, as it appears you are trying to spam our forum.
