Q: I have a web site run on a shopping cart system but we have run into plenty of frustrating search engine issues with our vendor. We want to add a site map to our web site but do not have the ability to add your software to their server for our use. Are we able to generate a site map using your software on a pc and cut and paste the results into a custom page on our web site?
A: You can generate a sitemap using the software but it must berunning on a server (with php) not simply a pc. This can be any server, it does not have to be the server of the site. So you can build a sitemap for your site using the software on our server athttps://bizpep.com/sitemapxml/ or a server you have access to. Simply input the start url and then click Generate Static SiteMap. This will generate a sitemap you can copy and paste.

Q: Ever since I installed sitemaps - my server load has gone throughthe roof, is it possible that I am getting into an infinite loop orsomething?
A: If you have a dynamic sitemap calling a dynamic site map you couldend up with a loop ie google calls sitemap.php which builds a sitemapof your pages, if your pages include a link to sitemap.php it will becalled again. This could happen with any dynamic sitemap callinganother dynamic site map ie a dynamic html sitemap. If you run adynamic sitemap then any other sitemaps included in it must be static(or excluded) ie you can run a dynamic sitemap for google and have ahtml site map included as long as it is static. Test yourconfiguration as a static sitemap (the generation time is displayed)and you should be able to see what is going on. Let me know what youdiscover.

Q: Looks like that one worked fine. Google keeps telling me that the sitemap is in the wrong location: Error message:The Sitemap must be located at .... I do not have access to that directory (it is not even a directory).
A: A couple of points the url you use as the first Start URL and appears as the first url in your site map should be the base (home page) of your site This is normally the domain ie ..http://www.mydomain.com/. The sitemap should be uploaded to the same base domain ie so the sitemap is at ..http://www.mydomain.com/sitemap.xml. Also keep in mind that http://www.mydomain/.com/ is different to http://mydomain/.com/ so you need to be consistent, either always use the www or never use it. If your site is CMS package/pre-built and you do not have access control over it you may need to contact your host/provider to request information on how to use Google sitemaps on their system. They should be able to help as this is now a standard feature required by most sites. You can also find more information using the Google Help at http://www.google.com/support/webmasters .

Q: I bought your SW, uploaded all files to server "generator" folder, but when we try for permission it is not allowing. Does the SW support ASP? Please note that my hosting plan is with goddaddy, delux which they say do not support php??? how should i proceed?
A: GoDaddy can support php (but it may depend upon the account setup you have). Have you run the test code from https://bizpep.com/phptest.html ? As the software runs using php you will not be able to run a Dynamic SiteMap on your server without php being supported. If your server does not support php do you have access to a server that does support php? Alternatively you can build a Static site map using our server. If you let me know the domain I may be able to assist further.

Q: I need to know how to exclude both whole directories and specific files for the sitemap. For instance, I have directories that I do not want crawled under my domain, and I need to exclude all listings in a directory (such as under ./directory/admin), and I have a mix of http & https files on my site. Google is giving me an error as the sitemap is listing all protocols in the same sitemap and this is not a valid listing (according to google).
A: For your sitemap to be Google valid all urls must be of the same domain and protocol. Use the full url for your start url ie ..http://www.mydomain.com/. The first start domain sets the base domain used for the site map. Links that have this (ie ..www.mydomain.com) as the domain or are relative links (which will be given the base domain) will be included in the sitemap. To exclude a secure url (ie ..https://www.mydomain.com) just add https to the Exclude URLs with. Also it is worth remembering ..http://mydomain.com/ is different to ..http://sub.mydomain.com/ or for that matter ..http://www.mydomain.com/. So if you want to include different sub domains to Google SiteMaps you will need different sitemaps. To exclude a directory you can use the Exclude URLs with ie to exclude the dir directory and files add dir/ to the Exclude URLs with. This would exclude all urls that include dir/ ie everything in the dir/ directory. To exclude a single file in the the dir/ directory such as ..http://www.mydomain.com/dir/mypage.html add dir/mypage.html to the Exclude URLs with. Also the values you set as Include URLs will impact on the urls used. If you set Include URLs with as .htm then only urls with .htm will be included. This removes ..http://www.mydomain.com/gooddir/ but allows ..http://www.mydomain.com/gooddir/mypage.htm or ..http://www.mydomain.com/gooddir/mypage.html.
