Hello,

First of all, thumbs up for a great tool.

I’m having problems completing the sitemap, due to low memory problems. I’ve tried what you’re suggesting on the help video (adding "-Xmx512m"), but so far all I’ve got are error messages: "The Java runtime environment cannot be loaded".

I’ve followed another member suggestion and tried "Xmx512m", instead of "-Xmx512m" and that did load the environment and the tool, but looking at the System tab, I see that the memory allocated is still 95,3MB. That has to be the default value, right?

Am I doing something wrong? I’d really appreciate any suggestions. The tool is great and I’d like to finally get the complete sitemap.
BTW, our site is www.in2life.gr.

Thx in advance

It’s been a while since we spoke, have been busy building.
I have a question I can’t seem to find the answer for
In your instructions you say re placement of sitemapxml

[Now, you need to upload the new sitemap to your website. It seems every hosting company has a different method of doing this, but they are all basically the same:

Think of your sitemap.xml file as any htm (html, php or asp) file that you're going to place on your website.

There is probably some type of import option that your hosting company provides you - use it to move (FTP, Publish, etc) the sitemap.xml file from your computer onto your website.

Place it in the same directory that holds the main page for your website.]

I have a construct that contains sales letters set up as
www.StephenHenryConsulting.com/letter with "index" so it is the default read file at my public_html section

I also have set up WordPress in my public_html section as I believe it will help my seo (I know this has it’s own sitemap but I have not activated it yet)

In the past (on other sites using th esame construct) I have set up your sitemap under my /letter folder so do I have to set up 2 different sitemaps to include WordPress or is there a place to put 1 sitemap that will include both
Tell me if you think this is stupid

P.s. I tell everyone about your product, it is (still) fantastic! Keep up the great work.

Hello,

The only way I can save the sitemap files in Vista is to save them to my personal folder in the Users folder. Now I can’t seem to open it or send it to anyone. The file is useless unless I can access it, which appears to be impossible right now.

Any ideas would be very, very appreciated!

Thanks.

Dear Jim,
I would like to thank you for this great application! I am only facing a problem with the sitemap by not reading any other pages i have. In the XML sitemap only the index page is showing. I have tried all the things you said about checking the robots and metatags but still the problem persists.
Can you help me please !!!

Thank you alot,
Have a great day!

I have created and saved my sitemap. I reloaded the sitemap after modifying most files on the site (including the index file) but am unable to get it to update the sitemap – it just reads the index file and stops.

I am able to create the sitemap from scratch, which works fine, but I don’t want to put all the Priorities back in. I did tick the ‘Download only new and modidfied files’ but without luck. Anything else I should be doing?

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but how do I change the colors of the links generated for an html sitemap. Mine come out blue and would like to change them to green. I’ve been trying to use my FCK editor, but it won’t work. When trying to edit the file in Crimson Editor, I can’t see where to change the link colors.

I have VISTA OS. I can generate, but I cannot export (save) the xml sitemap. It shows that it has been exported, but I cannot find it with Windows Explorer. I tried different folders: no difference. Please help. Thanks.

Hi,
Thanks for this really useful tool. I have used it a few times now, but I’d like to ask a question about how to include images. When your tool scans my site it finds and lists all my jpegs, but then when I click ‘export’ and make an XML sitemap the jpegs are not included in the sitemap, only the html pages. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks
Ian

Howdy, First of all I want to say thanks for such a great online tool.

I have used the generator for a few months but havent been able to access it today. In firefox I just get a blank page and in IE7 I get this error message:

Line: 35
Char: 5
Error: Object doesnt support this property or method
Code: 0
URL: http:www.auditmypc.com/xml-sitemap.asp

I get an error message when I try to see the sitemap file.
The error is:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/sexylek/public_html/sitemap/google.xml on line 1

You can see the sitemap at this url:
http://www.sexyleker.no/google.xml

I created it using the tool on this site.

Hope someone can help me

Hi,

I’ve used the Sitemap Generator successfully with two other sites, but am unable to make it work with my new one. All 3 are frame-based sites so seems like that can’t be the problem. What happens is that it only finds the initial URL and not any of the pages, so the XML looks like this (NB my site is not really called "mysite.com").

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
<url>
<loc>http://www.mysite.com/</loc>
<lastmod>2007-06-11T18:59:20-07:00</lastmod>
</url>
</urlset>

When crawling the Crawler tab just flashes "connecting" then finishes immediately.

I’ve tried setting various parameters and nothing changes.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for any help you can give!

Hello,

I am generating a sitemap for www.retiredswarovski.com .

The only page appearing with a title is index.html. The title is missing from all other pages. I have verifed that the pages do indeed have titles.

I have tried to generate a sitemap about 10 times over the last 3 days, with the same results.

Any suggestions as to what is wrong with my pages or if perhaps this is a bug?

Thanks,
Angie

Tim,

I have watched the video, gone thru the initial process and determined that I have some duplicate keywords and links due to a menu that expands as false or true. Do I simply select exclude to remove one of each from the XML or should I have our team rewrite the code on the site? I don’t want to get penalized for duplicate content. If you would take a look it would be appreciated. datastreamservices.com

Also there are a number of options that one can select that aren’t fully explained in the video. I’m interested in the frequency tab and would like to have a more detailed explanation of what this refers to and how best to utilize it.

Lastly, I attempted to find a written document on your site that has greater detail about the full functionality of the tool. I noticed in a couple of posts that you mentioned you hadn’t yet completed it. If you have would you point me to where I can find it.

Much thanks for the tool, I’ve been bugging our IT team to create this and finally decided I would do it myself. Your program has made it very easy.

Regards,

Craig

Hi Jim,

It’s me again. I keep picking away at trying to find the error on the pages pointing to this HTTP 404 not found link. You mentioned the possibility of an error with an absolute vs. relative url.

http://www.zone4kids.com/

I just can’t find it. I’m at my wits end. I checked with my original hosting company who managed just my domain name until I setup my site and redirected it to my current hosting company. They are not able to look at my zone file to see if both my relative url zone4kids.com and my absolute url www.zone4kids.com are pointing to the same place. They said I needed to check with my current hosting company.

I’ve written to my current hosting company and they said everything is setup properly and to stop beating myself up over this. They are not able to find that link anywhere in my code. The keep pointing me back to the sitemap generator software.

In trying to get to the bottom of all this I corrupted my site Saturday morning by removing my domain and trying to reload it to the server. In that whole debacle I learned from my host that I had a lot of extraneous code in my site because I was copying the complete code from Microsoft FrontPage and inserting it in to fields the hosting company’s software wizard was using to generate pages. In a sense I had duplicate html headers, meta tags etc.

I’ve since stripped out all the extraneous information (hours and hours to do it) and reloaded my products and pages. I ran the sitemap tool again last night and this http://www.zone4kids.com/ error is still there. The good news is that all the other errors I had are gone. I have a few images that I know are less than 100K that have connect time issues, but I can shrink the images to improve connect time.

I wonder if this may be a clue. The very first time I ran your tool I put in my site address and the tool didn’t run. I don’t remember exactly what the error was or how I put the address in the tool. I immediately ran it again and it created the site map, but with the error mentioned above. I don’t know if something is corrupted in memory on my PC or what. If I put in the absolute or the relative url I still get the error and it doesn’t matter if I use Firefox or IE. Both have the same error.

I’m really stumped and really bummed out by the whole thing.

Thanks for listening.

Hi Jim,

Steve here…..the license plate guy from Tennessee. I’ve been working away on my site and getting closer to being ready to add a XML site map. My site is:

autotags4u.com

When I use your generator tool and don’t exclude images (images are important on my site to show folks what I sell and can do) it shows lots of errors that I don’t understand. The images are actually on the site where they’re supposed to be (I think!). In other words…..the sitemap tool says that it failed….but when i look at my site….the image is there where it’s supposed to be. I don’t understand.

What am I missing? Any info would be appreciated.

One more question: Am I correct in understanding that now the XML site map is all that one needs for all of the major search engines? Or, do I need to to have a different sitemap for the different engines….google, yahoo and msn? Please advise. Thank you again!

Hope all is well with you and your family.

Best Regards,

Steve Edwards

I did the sitemap generator in April and uploaded it and pointed to that file in my Robot.txt file. When I ran the sitemap generator I used a lot of excludes, including images, because I have ecommerce site – www.bluesagebeads.com

The problem is the Google, MSN and Ask are not seeing my external links when I do a link search. For some reason, Yahoo is seeing them – about 900. The weird thing is, when I log into my Google sitemap account it shows some external links – about 78. All of the SE’s are seeing my pages, but not my external links. I’ve posted to Google Webmasters forum and really didn’t get anywhere. The answer I got was that Google is won’t list links unless they are high-quality links. Considering that DMOZ and Yahoo (the second largest SE) should be considered high-quality links and they’re not being listed, I don’t think that answer makes much sense.

It seems to be more of a technical problem that isn’t exclusive to Google. Could the problems be the excludes? Any ideas on what the problem is would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Helkat

Hi,

I have a dynamic website with an OsCommerce shop. Because of this every URL has something like "?osCid=…" after it.

The problem is that the sitemap generator repeats the same pages mulitple times, each time with a different "?osCid=…" reference. So the generator can have 100 pages listed but actually it’s just 5 pages each listed 20 times.

I’ve tried to filter out these but it just seems to not be able to get past the first page.

Is there anyway to filter these out from the results? The "?osCid=…" part is not required to view a page correctly

Thanks for any help.

Hi,

I have been using your site map builder and I can not open my saved project. This is the error message I get.

java.lang.NumberFormatException: Invailid Character : in base 64 string

I also have another matter.
After building my site map I got a bill for $120 excess usage from my host. Is the a way around reducing this in the settings.

Thankyou,
Toni-ann

Can you please tell me what a sleep interuppted error is?

I started the crawler, but realized that I forgot to put an exclude for *.css extentions. So, I stopped it without saving and reloaded my former saved project file that I had saved prior to running the crawler. The former saved project file only had settings saved to it. BUT, when I started the crawler again, 2 of the 5 threads I was running stayed at 0 B/s for several minutes. So, in the crawler tab, I selected the corresponding threads and stopped then re-started them. When I did, I got these sleep interuppted errors.

What does this mean?

Can I re-crawl these urls?

How?

When creating a new sitemap do I need to leave my browser open and running when I am away from the computer until the sitemap is complete?

Can I pause it and re-start it from where it was paused?

If so, can you explain how to do it without losing any data?

I have a large site and I know it will take some time to complete the crawl so I need to know. I also need to know how to re-crawl certain pages after an error is found and then fixed so that it may be included into the sitemap properly before submitting.

I found my file, I tried to save it to a shortcut on the desktop, this could have been the problem.

I saw a thread with the same question, but can not determine the solution. I am running the generator and am getting:

Warning: Entry processing failed, url=http://www.bridalgown.net/StoreFrontProfiles/deluxeSFshop.aspx?sid=1&sfid=101638&c=40001211, error=Connect timeout

I have also tried to slow it down.

Help? Thanks, in advance.

Hi,

Does anyone know how many characters the search engines look at to determine the uniqueness of a page title? Do they search the first 40 characters or some number or do they check your whole title?

I have some pages that start with the same words/characters so I’m wondering if the search engines go far enough to see they do become unique.

Thanks,

My google webmaster tools is reporting this error…

"We encountered an error while trying to access your Sitemap. Please ensure your Sitemap follows our guidelines and can be accessed at the location you provided and then resubmit."

The sitemap is at http://www.psychedelic-art.net/sitemap.xml

Everything looks fine with the sitemap to me, anyone got any clues?

Thanks,

Duane.

I have a problem with exporting a sitemap to my computer. The program works fine till I want to export a file to my computer. He saves the file on my computer, but the file is empty, thus useless. Could someone help me with this?

Hi,

I have a question and this may not be the right forum for this question so I apologize in advance.

My hosting company takes what I consider to be a keyphrase that people search and turns it into individual keywords. For example they take the keyphrase "flower girl dresses" I put in the keywords field and turn it into "flower, girl, dresses" They say that if they didn’t do it that way the site would actually be penalized on keywords.

I’m concerned about it because I’m not sure how the search engines search when someone types in a phrase. I’ve seen the metatags in the source code for some other sites and the the words are together as a phrase.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Z4K

I would like to be able to remove the date & time stamp <lastmod> when exporting the sitemap. The site is updated regularly and the sitemap will need to be updated every time too. Is this possible and if the <lastmod> entry is out of date will this affect search engine ranking?

Hi,

I am trying to create a sitemap for my blog and someone at an seo site gave me the link for auditmypc.I love the software that helps with the sitemap generation, but I am not sure if I am doing it right.Does using the ‘exclude filters’ showed in the video – *trackback/*, *xmlpc" (not sure about this one), *wp-admin* , *css , */wp-content/* , Testing.php , testing.php also work for a blog ? I was getting too many errors in the sitemap for my blog.So,I took out the videos,news and adsense to create the sitemap and then put them up again.I don’t know if it makes sense though.Could someone tell me if we can create a sitemap for a blog ( at blogger ) in the same way as for a website ? I am getting too many errors at the moment.:~

Hi Jim

I want to create a sitemap for my site that includes my images directory entries. When I run the script at http://www.auditmypc.com/xml-sitemap.asp it lists them all in the Sitemap window, however when I export the results as a Sitemap XML none of the images URLs are included.

Do I need to carry out an extra action for them to be saved?

Duncan

Hi,

I’m new at this and don’t really have a clue how to get to the bottom of old data coming up in crawls.

Google showed I had a couple dozen 404 link errors. I started researching sitemaps and tried a few (horrible tools) and then found your tool. (Great tool BTW!) When I ran your tool I came up with the same errors as Google and a few more. Your tool was great at showing me the connections to the bad links. However, when searching those pages to correct the errors I can’t find any links to the bad links. I also noticed that a lot of the pages were in some old formatted templates I was trying out.

I asked my web hosting company if there was stranded data on the server because the urls pointing to the bad links show old images of my site. I also noticed with your tool that my titles are missing. I know they were not there when I first launched my site so again I think somehow my new data is not being crawled.

My hosting company said they could not find any of the bad links and recommended I contact you and Google. Contacting Google is impossible….your site is much more user friendly!

Thanks,
Z4K

Hi,

I have a very large site and don’t want to crawl all links so I set the max level to zero but the spider didn’t stop at root level.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Anna

Jim,

Excellent program. I especially like the "map for people" html format.

I have tried 10 or 12 times over the past 3 days with various Settings but the site map always stops at around 2191 (including images) even though I have approx. 9600 pages on the site.

Initially, I saw 5 or 6 Low Memory Problem errors, so I increased the Java memory to 256 and those errors disappeared.

I tried Load From Server, and later tried Load From Anywhere, same result.

I tried setting Connect and Timeout to infinity but same result.

Site is www.pumplocker.com

Thanks

My sitemap result look like this : (it’s only part of the SiteMap)

Hi Jim

First, thanks for such a great sitemap maker.

I’ve just made my first Google sitemap and would like to know whether I should include my 301 redirects in the sitemap or not?

Also, when I made my first sitemap it didn’t include my images folder content because I had it disallowed in robots.txt file. So, I removed the disallow, but now unless I tick "add skipped links to sitemap" it doesn’t include them. Any ideas on why this is happening?

Duncan

I am confused when attempting to save the the sitemap into the google compliant form. First of all my tool set does not look like the one in the Webmaster Tool video. On completion of of my website crawl I have the option to Export, not save my site map. I do not see an option for google format. I see am option for URL Raw, delimited, XML, sitemap XML, HTML, and HTML report. Any help would be wonderful.

I’d like know how can i do to filter some directory.

Example

my domain is www.domain.com

- on rules i set Load from anywhere

i’d like check the follows directories:

- www.domain.com/sport
- www.domain.com/news
- music.domain.com
- film.domain.com

Now, if i insert in Include filters

*domain.com/sport*
or
*music.domain.com*

runs ok, but only for each rule

but if i insert as rules

*domain.com/sport*
*domain.com/news*

doesn’t work.

how can i do to insert all those rules together?

Thanks

I used your old sitemap generator and had some success with it. Now, when I attempt to use the new sitemap generator, when I click on the icon to enter, I get a blank page with a notation on the lower left that says "errors on page". I haven’t been able to get past this problem.

Jim,

Went to http://www.w3.org/2001/03/webdata/xsv and ran a different google xml map, since I wasn’t having any luck with yours, and got back

Good Day,

I gather Google, Yahoo and MSN have agreed on a standard xml sitemap format, as per the website: http://www.sitemaps.org/protocol.php

If so, why should we generate different sitemaps for Google and Yahoo? Shoudn’t the Google XML sitemap be good for Yahoo, MSN and ASK as well? Please let me know.

Thanks,
DorinG

Hi,

When running the sitemap generator on my site, I repeatedly get a popup window that asks for my username, password and domain. Portions of my site are restricted to members-only. I have tried entering my site login information but the popup keeps appearing. If I hit "no" or close the popup another window usually appears. After repeated attempts to close the popup window it usually goes away but will often reappear later in the scan.

Is the popup window so the member section can be scanned? What login information do I need to enter in order for it to proceed?

Thanks in advance.
Will

When I added Google Sitemap to our site, and checked on Webmaster Tools section, the Web Crawl report showed several "URLs restricted by robots.txt" including index page. Our robots.txt file has only following lines.

User-agent: *
Disallow:

Since then, I have removed Sitemap fearing problems with Google search results. What could be the reason for this?

For your information, we do have some 301 redirect pages, and sitemap was showing old as well as new urls.

Please guide me, so that I can generate a correct Google sitemap and add to my site.

URL of our site http://www.lth-hotels.com

Thanks in advance….

The new site and sitemap generator look great Jim but, unfortunately, it is not working for me, I get this message-

16.04.07 22:01:01, Error: Fatal error, cause: jmaster.webtool.model.api.crawler.exception.Crawle rException: Memory low-

I tried increasing the applet runtime memory but there was no change in performance, I still get more than half of my pages as unfindable… any explanation of what this error means &, more importantly, what to do about it will be appreciated.

While I am talking to people who understand computers better than I do I’m going to venture another question: can anyone tell me how to get the favicon (ico) I uploaded to my site’s root folder to work?
thanks,
Paul

Good Day,

I used the Sitemap Generator for the first time, and I’m very impressed by the many options available! I was able to create exactly what I wanted a sitemap that contains only .html and .jpg files, excluding .jpg files less than 5KB. I used the exclusion filter and the row filter, and they seem to work very well. The sitemap looks great within the Generator. However, when I saved the sitemap, first as Google sitemap, and then as .XML, I didn’t get what I expected: the Google sitemap contains only .html files and only the "Last modified" parameter, while the XML sitemap contains everything, including ping times, etc. I ended up with a Google sitemap of 72 KB and a XML sitemap of 572 KB.
Please help.

Thanks,
DorinG

Hi Jim

Thanks so much for this site it’s great – but I’m a bit lost. I want to create a site map for humans within my site which I think I’ve done with your tool. I also want to create sitemaps for google etc which I also thought I had done but when I submitted it to Google I go this response
Unsupported file format
Your Sitemap does not appear to be in a supported format. Please ensure it meets our Sitemap guidelines and resubmit.
I also put the location in my robots.txt file
Sitemap: <http://www.speakonlytome.com/sitemap.xml>
My site is www.speakonlytome.com – it’s only an interim site while our main site is being developed but if I can get this right I won’t have to pester you later.

Thanks
Caroline

Hi

It ran for about 4 mins before this happened.

I have tried saving , reloading and then used retry failed, it does the same thing each time.

The pc I am running on is a 3.2ghz p4, 1 gig ram running suse 10.1, jave 1.5 and i have set the memory for java to 256, and it has free ram available when failure occurs according to the system info given by the tool.

Any ideas?

Hello,

On each of my product pages I have an "Email this to a friend" link. I do not want to have this on my sitemap because I have over 30,000 products.

On the filter I have tried

*email*

and

http://www.mydomain.com/servlet/send?$email.Target.URL*

Neither works…. The email links are still being queued up which means it is taking twice as long to create my site map.

Am I doing something wrong in regards to the syntax of the filters?

Thanks!

Hi…I don’t have any sound coming out of the 60 sec video. I have shut down a rebooted checked my audio and everything seems in order, can you help

Thanks!

First of all I want everyone to know I read the FAQ section before posting this question.

When I attempt to generate a Google site map and enter http://www.acecomputerguy.net….the generator only lists the the index page…www.acecomputerguy.net

Next, I entered http://acecomputerguy.net (without the www) and the generator picks up the entire site. I saved this site map and submitted to Google. I checked the status of the site map the next day and Google reported sitemap errors. Apparently Google expects to see the www on the sitemap url’s.

I manually edited the sitemap with notepad to add the www to all the url’s
and resubmitted to Google. The sitemap is now verified.

However, I am confused as to why the generator only picks up the index page when I enter….http://www.acecomputerguy.net.

Could this issue be affecting how the spiders see this web site.

Thank you in advance for any advice offered.

Regards,
allinet

I used this java applet of Sitemap Generator in my Windows Vista, Internet Explorer. It worked fine, with crawling all urls and recording them as a list.

When I clicked on Save Sitemap under Sitemap tab, it would save the file, but the file was never saved when I checked the folder.

Again, when I try to save the file second time, it shows as saved, and asks me If i want to overwrite the saved file. So basically the bottom line is, that Sitemap Generator does saves the file, but Windows Vista doesn’t show the saved file, or may be Vista delete’s it unknowingly. From another point of view, I think that this could be some advanced security feature of Windows Vista as well, which stops files saved from web via Java being displayed.

Can anybody throw some light on this topic please?

Is there a way to get the tool to ignore anything after a question mark? And thus combine entries like the five above into a single one?

Thanks

Jim

I can’t delete my posts I guess.

This was a about a problem with Titles not being found and indexed but when I ran the tool again there was no problem. No idea why it happened or why it went away but it doesn’t appear to be a problem with the tool.

Hi, I tried several google sitemap builder tools, read articles, I submitted it several times but google always says:

Unsupported file format
Your Sitemap does not appear to be in a supported format. Please ensure it meets our Sitemap guidelines and resubmit.

my web site adress is http://www.freewebtown.com/aymavisi
I uploaded it to my root directory as sitemap.xml also sitemap.gz (my root is same as above.)

By the way I can not add my url to google sitemap like this: http://www.freewebtown.com/aymavisi/sitemap.xml
It gives error:
The Sitemap must be located at http://www.freewebtown.com/. To add a Sitemap at http://www.freewebtown.com/aymavisi/, first add that site to your account and then click the Add a Sitemap link beside it.

I can only add: http://www.freewebtown.com/aymavisi can this cause this error?

I really don’t know what to do help please.

Jim,

I’ve got the three types of sitemaps loaded but I don’t see Google search ratios changing. "Numbers after + are successful hits on "robots.txt" files" , and over the last couple of weeks my numbers for Googlebots look like this: 82+13, 90+14, 95+16, 103+17. Google’s last crawl was on the 16th. How long does it take for the Googlebots to take advantage of the google sitemap? My MSN bots aren’t doing to good either: 114+68, 118+73, 141+76, 147+79. What sitemap does MSN use? Yahoobots are at 100%.

Thanks,
Roger

I’ve used this tool preiodically, including older versions. Tonight it is quitting without going beyond the first page unless I remove all exclusion rules. I’ve tried making sure there is no empty line, and I’ve tried entering a single exclusion rule. As soon as I do that it appears to read and process the entry page but quits right away. If I empty the exclusions entirely then it indexes the site. But doesn’t exclude anything.
