Creating a Site-Map - Is Google Webmaster Tools the way to go??

Beau · 10-05-2009, 11:20 PM

Hi All...
Just wondering if https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/home?hl=en is the best way to create a site map.

Any thoughts on whether this is the way to go?

Yes there should be 2 kinds of sitemap in your site:

1. For search engines (google sitemaps)
2. For humans (for ease of navigation)

Is use wordpress so I use the wordpress plugin Google XML Sitemap Generator, if your using a wordpress site then I would highly recommend it. I am just doing a top 10 wordpress plugin post over at my blog as we speak actually, just taking a break to check out whats going on at WF

I would second Michael's suggestion. I use the Google XML Sitemaps plugin for WordPress on every site or blog that I run.

It not only automatically creates and updates a sitemap for your blog or site, but it also submits it to Google, Yahoo!, Bing, and Ask.

If you are using Wordpress platform, Then there is a useful plugin called "XML site map generator" to create XML site map easily. It is very easy to handle and use.

If you have a static website (i.e. not a blog which can auto-generate these sitemaps), and it's a fairly small site (i.e. doesn't have dozens of pages), you can use an XML sitemap generator such as:

Cogah - XML Sitemap Generator

Then just save the resulting sitemap.xml file, upload it to your web space, and submit it via Webmaster tools.

Checked it out. Very nice! Left a comment. While watching, I was thinking "transcript" and later discovered you make available the transcripts. Book marked!

Thanks,
