XML Sitemap Generator

About the XML Sitemap generator tool

An XML sitemap enables you to quickly inform search engines like Google, Yahoo, Bing of every web page of your website and any changes you may have made to the page.

What is the benefit of this? This ensures every page is indexed, and will rank quickly and correctly in search results. You don’t need different XMLs for each search engine either, as all major search engines use the same XML-based protocol
