I have 15,000+ pages on my site what is the best way to generate a sitemap for google? I have downloaded a few freebie sitemap generators but they only do 5000 pages...I was hoping for a free program anyone know of any?

do they run from a database or are they all static?

Mikeh · 04-22-2011, 11:36 PM

well they run from a database, but they have been assigned static .html urls

I am using prestashop if that helps? which comes with a sitemap module but I am on a shared account with hostgator which only allows so much time for any given process to finish otherwise it kills it.

if it needs to keep up then you may have to rerun it every now and then, but you could script a direct feed from your back-end and build the file that way, if the site i small(ish) then you could have it update automatically, providing it doesn't time your server out

I would be happy to help you put one together like: http://foxydrop.com/sitemap.xml, this automatically pulls the info from the db, as it is mainly used by spiders I have not yet made it a standalone file that generates itself. You can extend your sitemap to include as much information as you want, but it would be the time to construct it that I think you're having a few issues with if I'm not mistaken.

Don't use a sitemap. Google will find your pages.
