Gsitemap

Gsitemap is a lightweight Windows application whose purpose is to help you generate XML Google sitemaps from configuration files. It allows you to optimize your website and make it appear in the Google search index.

You are welcomed by a well-organized suite of features. A help manual is not included in the package so you need to experiment a little bit with the dedicated parameters in order to understand how the program works. You may also rely on tooltips for viewing short descriptions about the utility’s functions.

Thanks to its multi-tabbed environment, you can easily monitor URLs, URL lists, directories, access logs, and sitemap data.

Gsitemap offers you the possibility to import, edit, and save XML sitemap configuration files. Plus, it gives you the freedom to load, alter, and export XML Google sitemap files.

The application is able to load and save compressed XML files (ZIP file format) and lets you add a list with URLs from plain text items. You may add directories, access logs, as well as a single URL and set optional attributes like last modified date, changing frequency, and priority.

Other notable configuration settings worth being mentioned enable you to make use of an integrated website spider tool for generating URL lists (while allowing you to set thread priorities), automatically notify Google about a sitemap update, and set the date/time format.

Gsitemap allows you to generate tags for last modified items, changed frequency, and priority, and set the default parameters for each of the aforementioned options.

You may upload XML sitemap via FTP connections by providing information about the server, username, password, and path to file. The application is not a resource hog so you do not have to worry that it hampers the overall performance of your computer.

To sum things up, Gsitemap comes packed with several smart and straightforward features, and provides a straightforward way for helping webmasters and website owners to create, modify, and submit sitemap information.
