Sitemap Writer Pro Review (SoftwareReviewBoffin)

(SoftwareReviewBoffin.com)

A sitemap is a map of a website that shows the web pages and how they are linked or related. Sitemaps are usually provided so that visitors can easily navigate through your site. Search engines also use sitemaps to index your site. The sitemap's format when submitted to search engines is a bit different. Usually an XML tree structure is used inside these sitemap files.
Sitemap Writer Pro enables you to build and manage your own XML maps for your website without any knowledge of XML required. The program features a rather plain interface in which you may feel a bit lost at first but a quick glance at the complete help section solves the issue. You can import all your URLs from a .txt file, insert them manually or even have the program crawl your site to extract all of them. Sitemap Writer includes a wide range of tools to handle these URLs, such as copying, pasting or finding duplicates, amongst others. The program also allows you to export them directly to HTML.

Other interesting options featured in Sitemap Writer are, for example, a search engine notification tool and a built-in FTP client to upload your XML sitemap right away. Even if the program looks quite unfriendly at the beginning, it is certainly worth the effort to learn how to use it.
