You ever wonder what it was like marketing on the internet 15 years ago? And how that was as opposed to how it is now? Maybe not - as it changes a lot - every 2 WEEKS or so. But I have seen them Come and I have seen the Go (give up) - and I'm still standing - I'm still here and making $$ . I do have a lot of knowledge I have gleaned over the years and some of it from way back is still pretty dern handy stuff!

Getting indexed by Google has become a whole lot more difficult
I'm assuming you are talking about a regular HTML website, not a Wordpress blog, yes? For mine I use a free Windows program called Softplus GSite Crawler. You can find it here:
Google Sitemap Generator for Windows :: GSiteCrawler
No scripts or other techie weirdness needed.
Hope that helps!

Getting indexed by Google has become a whole lot more difficult
It's pretty easy, really, all of this stuff is only really useful for the big content sites with a few hundred thousand real pages. Smaller sites the big G hadles fine on its own.
Simplest method I've found for small sites is go to SEO News, Tips, & Tools. Updated Every Weekday - ResourceSEO.com and enter your site's url - they generate a very basic sitemap for you that is quite sufficient if you don't have some monster dynamic site. You make a page on your site called sitemap.xml, open that with the built-in Cpanel editor and paste the sitemap you get from resourceseo into that file. Save it using UTF-8 encoding (choose in the drop box right next to the 'save' button) and you have a valid XML-sitemap that google will accept. It's good enough for a static site or a small one with only a few pages - you'll need something a lot more sophisticated if we're talking 50,000 pages.Posted 8th August 2008 at 04:10 PM by Melkor
