Your Google Sitemap

Re: Your Google Sitemap

If you want to see a visual, partial sitemap, go look at charmingnoveltees and look at the very bottom where u see all the pages linked. I have ALL the categories linked there with keywords, I just didnt also add the products themselves, but thats very basically what a VISUAL sitemap is.

Please people dont make simple HARD.

Re: Your Google Sitemap

Do a search on the forum for robots.txt, or on google.

Why should you do a robots.txt file? If you dont want certain areas or pages indexed, or you dont want certain spiders to index you. If you dont have sensitive or members areas on a site, then you really dont need one, except the robots will look for one and your stats will show page NOT found is all.

Re: Your Google Sitemap

Hi,

Sounds great. I used it. But doesn't work!
If I press the generate sitemap button the textbox says:"Crawling website...please wait!". Then after a few seconds it says above the textbox:"processed 0 urls"

What is wrong?

Cheers,

Fred

I just came across a very cool little piece of software called "ROR".
ROR will create a sitemap for your website. A sitemap makes it easier
for Google and Yahoo to index your site. If you plan on making it
online. You Need To Have a Sitemap!




Click Here to download ROR. It's Free!
1) Download ROR to your desktop
2) Unzip and install ROR3) Where it says Site URL enter your domain name...Our Domain name is www.vodahost.com whats yours?
4) Click "generate sitemap"
5) when the site map is done, click "save as"
6) save it to your desk top as ror
7) upload it to your public_html folder using blueFTP. If you do not know how to do this, click the below link for a tutorial on the topic

http://www.vodahost.com/DemoDemo/ftp...da_blueftp.htm

Create a hyperlink from your home page to the xml file. Our homepage hyperlink looks link this http://www.vodahost.com/ror.xml

If you have any questions about ROR or require help with your Sitemap.
Please feel free to ask for help here in this forum. Please DO NOT open
a support ticket for help with ROR. You will be sent back here.

Re: Your Google Sitemap

Hi Tyson,

SO it seems you have a similar problem, of ror not creating a sitemap.

Let's hope someone comes up with the solution.

Cheers,

Re: Your Google Sitemap

I had the same problem. I was using "menu bar" to navigate my site. I switched to " navigation" buttons and that solved that problem, Now I have this problem, one step at a time. What menu system are you using?

Check my post at:

Re: Your Google Sitemap

I am using the navigation bar.
But on my site http://www.westerncapeholiday.com I also use a text menu at the bottom of each page. Moreover, also links in the text on both websites link to the other pages so it seems to me that it is not the navigation bar that is the problem, because ror could have picked up other pages through other links.

It is about time other experts jump in to sort out this issue.

Cheers,

Fred

Re: Your Google Sitemap

I ran your your site in ror amd it found 34 url's. Look carefully.

I wish someone would answer my post.

Re: Your Google Sitemap

Just wanted to post that for the past 5 days I have noticed the ror site map generator is not working, perhaps they are updating or something similar ... Unless it updates, we won't be able to update from ror

For anyone wanting another site map generator you might consider using this one .. http://www.xml-sitemaps.com/

Thanks for that Lady, what a pain! I use that all the time..

Thanks Again

Re: Your Google Sitemap

Why does is say when I install and run ROR that there has been 0 processed URL's for my website?

Hi Mariah,

Please look two posts above your post and you will see there apparently is a problem at the moment with the sitemap generator.

Re: Your Google Sitemap

(whistling) I dunno where Miss Holly could have gotten that site...

But it does work nicely and you can do an html one to put on your site for your customers as well with a tad bit of editing.
