PLEASE can someone point me someplace for Google Sitemaps - GoFuckYourself.com

It's 4am, I am tired as hell and this is my last project before we fly outta here so I can't come back to this later.

If anyone has a really EASY or QUICK method of creating a sitemap for google, can you please point me there?

I am reading their instructions, and it's a little hard to follow on an empty tank over here.

I would really appreciate any help.

Thank you!

Is that a trick question?

I meant this: https://www.google.com/webmasters/si...or.html#config

Unless you're telling me something, in which case I'm not really reading between your lines...

Just went ot check out their instructions - seems pretty straight-forward to me. What part is giving you trouble?

Seems ot me you just download their stuff, modify the config file as instructed, run the python script to generate the site map, then let Google know about it and you're done.

ha ha.. I know what you mean... I just grabbed a sample one of theirs and cut and pasted in my own links etc. it's actually easy.. Been working on a script to do it as well but it's not done yet.

I can't get the verify to work properly though and can't figure out why.. Something about 404 errors not being done right.

Well, on the config file, I'm confused as to which parts to delete - I am admitting that I'm tired and this process seems a bit difficult at the moment.

Not only that; but I am unsure about whether or not the url I plug in includes only that index, or if it pulls from the directories too.

Am I overcomplicating this?

I think you may be hehe

I haven't tried it personally, but from what i understand, wherever you set your "store_into" to be, any sub-dirs from there would be included. Anything of a higher-level (ie. dirs below) won't be.

Of the options you can either modify or delete, this is how I understand them:

URL - Include urls here that wouldn't otherwise get picked up (ie. maybe other subdomains in diff folders). If you dont have urls outside, you can prob delete this section

URL list - if you have some file of URLs alreday, otherwise you can prob delete this section

Directory Paths - if you have paths you want included that are on the filesystem outside the DocumentRoot (or in this case the store_into I guess). If you dont have such case, delete this section

Access Logs - I'd use this one, esp. if you have any dynamic pages. Any URL found in the logs would then be added to the sitemap. Could make your map huge though if you have very dynamic pages and tons of urls, not sure if that might cause problems or not.

Sitemap - include other sitemaps you've already generated. Not your case here so just delete that section.

That's how I understand it, hope that helps some

My pleasure...if I didn't have to head off to sleep now so I can wake up for work in a few hours, I would have tried installing it myself to see first-hand.....but good luck to you in the morning

luv$ · 12-23-2005, 12:00 PM

Bump - I have a laundry list of things to do within the next 3 hours, otherwise I would not do this - would someone be willing to do this for me for like $25?

I really want this setup before I leave...

much to my dismay, the moment I submitted my site using google's sitemaps my google rank was affected in a bad way.

for a week or two google pulled my site out of search results for any keyword other then the exact domain name, but i did see google using sitemaps to spider my site

now, google is stil lspidering, and the search results for ganeral keywords are starting to include my website in the search results again, but not like before I started using sitemaps.

luv$ · 12-23-2005, 12:24 PM
