Google Sitemap Generator
Price: $14.95 (shareware) |
|
|
Quickly and easily add Google Sitemaps to your websites.
Note: Intended for use with real files that are physically on located on your server. Does not recognize virtual files generated via .htaccess (mod_rewrite). |
|
|
 |
uses mod_rewrite |
 |
Generates Google Sitemap .xml and .txt files. |
 |
Runs on your server and scans directories for files (in your website only); faster file discovery than a spider since it does not use http. |
 |
Install once and forget about it. Now you can update your website and be sure that your sitemaps will always reflect what your website contains. |
 |
Uses mod_rewrite to associate sitemap.xml and sitemap.txt requests to the sitemap.pl script located in cgi-bin. |
 |
Caches the .xml and .txt files so if requested, does not have to rescan for files. Stale time of 1 hour. |
 |
The cached .xml/.txt files can be manually copied to the root directory so the script never runs again in case you just want a sitemap snapshot. |
 |
Can specify files and directories to be skipped; can specify as: full URL, URL with * wildcard, or filename extension (e.g.: .gif, .jpg, .asp, ...). Common "skips" already configured (and can be unskipped). |
 |
<lastmod> and <changefreq> automatically calculated. |
 |
Supports up to 50,000 URL's, and 10MB files. |
 |
Fast directory scanning. About 500 to 750 URL's found per second. |

sitemap.pl is available as shareware. If you try sitemap.pl and continue to use it then please purchase a software license for a one-time fee of $14.95.
If you try sitemap.pl and don't find it useful then delete sitemap.pl as well as the created sitemap files.
Once you purchase a license, you can use sitemap.pl on all of your websites. Unlike our other scripts, there is no yearly renewal fee for the license, it is one-time.

sitemap.pl can be configured to skip specified files and directories. You can specify each "skip" as: full URL, URL with * wildcard, or filename extension (e.g.: .gif, .jpg, .asp, ...). Common "skips" are already configured (and can be unskipped). |
