I finally decided to make a Google sitemap, and downloaded the generator
this morning. But I'm stuck - the instructions for the configuration file
just have me stumped. I get to the "modify or delete" section and get lost.
I'm pretty web-savvy but somehow this just escapes me.

Does anyone know of a good site that explains which options to configure, in
simple terms? Yes, I've Googled for an answer but didn't really locate
anything that explains it much differently than Google does. There must be
something out there ~ (?)

best,
Denise

Try using Gsitecrawler. It seems to be coming out the winner of the
Googlemap makers. I don't really configure any options myself, I just
let the generator do whatever it does automatically. I've looked at
the myriad of settings there are and dismissed them as simply being
over-complicated - who has time? Let Googlebot do the work it was
intended to.

how about just creating the sitemap.txt file. It seems easier to me.

You could try e.g. A1 Sitemap Generator:
http://www.micro-sys.dk/products/sitemap-generator/

Else check:
http://code.google.com/sm_thirdparty.html

Thomas Schulz

You might also want to look at the Google site map generator built into the
Zoom Search Engine V5.
See,
http://www.wrensoft.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1122
and
http://www.wrensoft.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1125

It can create a site map, check your site for broken links and create a
local search function for your site in a single pass of the spider.

Cheers
David
