XML Sitemap Creation
-
I am looking for a tool where I can add a list of URL's and output an XML sitemap. Ideally this would be Web based or work on the mac?
Extra bonus if it handles video sitemaps.
My alternative is XLS and a bunch of concatenates, but I'd rather something cleaner. It doesn't need to crawl the site. Thanks.

Yes, I want to be able to add manually or be able to filter the results into segmented sitemaps based on the URL structure. I am fine with paying for a tool as long as it works
Thanks for the replies so far.

Hi Graeme,
Video sitemap generators generally come separate, so if you are looking for a standalone video sitemap generator, here are some options.
Hope this helps!

Hi Graeme
Are you saying you want to add URLs manually or automatically? If automatic, then http://www.xml-sitemaps.com but manually then no I don't sorry.

If I'm using a compressed sitemap (sitemap.xml.gz) that's the URL that gets submitted to webmaster tools, correct?
I just want to verify that if a compressed sitemap file is being used, then the URL that gets submitted to Google, Bing, etc and the URL that's used in the robots.txt indicates that it's a compressed file. For example, "sitemap.xml.gz" -- thanks!

Google only crawling a small percentage of the sitemap
Hi, The company which I work for have developed a new website for a customer, there URL is https://www.wideformatsolutions.co.uk I've created a sitemap which has 25,555 URL's. I submitted this to Google around 4 weeks ago and the most crawls that have ever occurred has been 2,379. I've checked everything I can think of, including; Speed of website Canonical Links 404 errors Setting a preferred domain Duplicate content Robots Txt .htaccess Meta Tags I did read that Matt Cutts revealed in an interview with Eric Enge that the number of pages Google crawls is roughly proportional to your pagerank. But I'm sure it should crawl more than 2000 pages. The website is based on Opencart, if anyone has experienced anything like this I would love hear from you.

URL / sitemap structure for support pages
I am creating a site that has four categories housed in folders off of the TLD. Example: example.com/category-1
Technical SEO | | InterCall
example.com/category-2
example.com/category-3
example.com/category-4 Those category folders contain sub-folders that house the products inside each category. Example: example.com/category-1/product-1
example.com/category-2/product-1
etc. Each of the products have a corresponding support page with technical information, FAQs, etc. I have three options as to how to structure the support pages' URLs. Option 1 - Add new sub-folder with "support" added to string: example.com/category-1/product-1-support Option 2 - Add a second sub-folder off of the product sub-folder for support: example.com/category-1/product-1/support Option 3 - Create a "support" folder with product sub-folders: example.com/support/product-1 Which of these three options would you choose? I don't like having one large /support folder that houses all products. It seems like this would create a strange crawling and UX situation. The sitemap would have a huge /support folder with all of my products in it and the keywords in my category folders would be replaced with the word "support." Because I would rather have the main product pages ranking over any of the support pages (outside of searches containing the word "support"), I am leaning toward Option 2: example.com/category-1/product-1/support. I think this structure indicates to crawlers that the more important page is the product page, while the support page is secondary to that. It also makes it clear to users that this is the support page for that particular product. Does anyone have any experience or perspective on this? I'm open to suggestions and if I'm overthinking it, tell me that too. Thanks, team.0 -
Sitemap url's not being indexed
There is an issue on one of our sites regarding many of the sitemap url's not being indexed. (at least 70% is not being indexed) The url's in the sitemap are normal url's without any strange characters attached to them, but after looking into it, it seems a lot of the url's get a #. + a number sequence attached to them once you actually go to that url. We are not sure if the "addthis" bookmark could cause this, or if it's another script doing it. For example Url in the sitemap: http://example.com/example-category/0246 Url once you actually go to that link: http://example.com/example-category/0246#.VR5a Just for further information, the XML file does not have any style information associated with it and is in it's most basic form. Has anyone had similar issues with their sitemap not being indexed properly ?...Could this be the cause of many of these url's not being indexed ? Thanks all for your help.
