Hi,

 

Does anyone know I would go about creating a Google Friendly Sitemap? It's something to do with XML?

 

If anyone could help I would be REALLY greatful.

 

DK.

Basically how it will look is like this

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">

<url>
  <loc>http://www.example.com/</loc>
  <lastmod>2005-01-01</lastmod>
  <changefreq>monthly</changefreq>
  <priority>0.8</priority>
  </url>

</urlset>

 

.

google explains it all here and goes through what all the different tags are for

if you want to cheat this is a good free generator, all you do is fill your url and it will go through all the pages and do it all automatically.

Dizi, that is VERY helpful! Thank you ever so much for such a quick response.

 

I'm gonna try and build it not and let you know how the coding goes.

Excellent! Google has recognised my sitemap and it's funtioning correctly.

 

Thank you Dizi

Hi Elite, welcome to the forums.

 

You should really have created a new thread, as this one is fairly old.

 

As for your site map, does Google give you any particular reason for rejecting it?

thanks rob with the help of this thread it as been accepted now i changed the top 2 lines in the code as i used a old sitemap creator it was saying not correct format but accepted and say ok now thanks for everones help on this forum,

Karly use this, it crawls your site and constructs an XML sitemap for you for any of the major search engines
