Can anybody recommend me a softwear to create sitemap?
-
I am trying to increase my website traffic and I know that sitemaps are super important to google and not only. So far I spent some money on softwear from several companies and the results were terrible. Money spent on nothing. I really need sugestions from you because I'm feed up to spend money on nothing.
NB: I am not a programer or website developer so my knowlegde is rather basic in this stuff but I like learning new things.
THANKS A LOT!!!

Forget this tool. I have only trouble with that. The functionality is not even $5 worth it...and I payed $25 - stay away!
-
This information is invariably going to come too late to you now but I've used this freeware program with great success in the past:
http://wonderwebware.com/sitemap-generator/
Their website isn't much to look at but it really does work a treat.

Thanks! I just bought the one mentioned. I will let you know how it is....so far it has scanned 5065 pages and is blocked in an error I have to solve in the website.
I keep you posted.
On a scale from 1 to 10 how important is a sitemap for search engine?
Can I see huge improvements in the traffic after I upload it?

You could use A1 Sitemap Generator:
http://www.microsystools.com/products/sitemap-generator/
It's 30 days for free but i think it is worth every dollar/euro/pound you spend on it.
It also lets you create lots of differtent sitemaps (HTML/Google sitemaps divided in sitemaps of a 100 links each or one really big one).
Hope it helps you (or someone else)..
kind regards

Never heard of it or used it.
You just need a program on your mac that can read xml files. Download https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/smultron-5/id543634397?ls=1&mt=12.
This will allow you to read the xml file once you create it using whatever program you choose.

Do you know something about this one:
http://www.ragesw.com/products/googlesitemap.html
I've seen it being recommended on codes.google.com.
For the one from xml website i was looking at it but I think the version they have does not work on Mac.
Thanks a lot!!!

Try using the paid version of the site I recommended. I'm sure there are other quality sitemap builders out there as well besides the one I'm mentioning.

My website is big. More than 14.000 pages in this moment and is continuing to grow each day. My computer is a macbook.

How many pages do you have? If it's less than 500 (I think), you can use http://www.xml-sitemaps.com/ for free
Once it's complete, download the uncompressed file and upload it to the root directory within your hosting as "sitemap.xml". Then, go to yoursite.com/sitemap.xml to verify that it's working, it should just look like a bunch of code.
Or, if you're running Wordpress, download Google XML Sitemaps. It's a plugin that will create it for you and keep it up to date (unlike the site mentioned above).
Once you have your sitemap generated, submit it within your Google Webmaster Tools account. This will increase your odds of being indexed.
Does this help?

How can you tell how many pages rank for a particular keyword?
I know with ranktracker I can see a page that will rank for a certain keyword. What if I have multiple pages that rank for this keyword? How can I see all pages that rank for it?

Can anybody point me to an OSE tutorial blog on Competitive Analysis?
I came across a few blogs which got me started here on an SEOmoz Pro account and now I am working on building a competitive link analysis spreadsheet in Excel in order to identify how are competitors are beating us in Google rankings for specific keywords. One article I came across seemed to do exactly what I wanted, but the images are all broken and the downloads require a membership to some service I am not interested in: http://www.seerinteractive.com/blog/how-are-they-beating-you-quick-seo-analysis-tools-part-1/ Anybody have any resources like this they can share? Thank you.

How can we efficiently use Fresh Web Explorer and Just Discovered Links?
Love the fresh data sources SEOmoz is building for us. However, I'm frustrated by the lack of scale the tools offer. Let's say I have 30 competitors I want to watch (which is pretty conservative - if we're targeting 100 keywords on a site, we could easily have 100's of top 20 ranked competitors). If I have to run individual reports for each using OSE and Fresh Web Explorer, that would be hours of work every day/week. Ideally, I'd like to see a campaign feature where you could add 2-200 competitors to view in one report. You could view recent links (from FWE and JDL) for all competitors on one handy report, and sort by various metrics. So for example, if you wanted to view the top 10 links your competitors have gotten in the past week, you could see that in 30 seconds of work, vs many hours of work. Any others who think this would be useful? Any ideas for how we can use the data in such a way without this feature?

How can I download all the inbound links to my Site?
Hi, From Site Explorer, I want to download all the inbound links linking to my site: www.comm100.com/livechat/. But it seems that there is a limitation. I can only download a part of the inbound links? What should I do? Or is it because my account is free trial? Do I have to pay for it? Please help. Thanks,

Can someone explain why I have been seeing an increase in the number of Linking Page URLs in OSE that link directly to downloads?
Ever since the last couple Linkscape updates when doing competitive back link analysis I have noticed a large increase in the number of URLs of Linking Pages in OSE that result in an immediate file download. The majority of the time these downloads are not common files ie PDF, DOC files. For example, these were all in a competitors back link profile: http://download.unesp.br/linux/debian/pool/main/i/isc-dhcp/isc-dhcp-relay-dbg_4.1.1-P1-17_ia64.deb http://snow.fmi.fi/data/20090210_eurasia_sd_025grid.mat http://www.rose-hulman.edu/class/me/HTML/ES204_0708_S/working model examples/Le25 mad hatter.wm?a=p&id=145880&g=5&p=sia&date=iso&o=ajgrep These are just a few I came across for a single competitor. Is this sketchy black hat SEO, some sort of error, actual links, or something else? Any information on this subject would be helpful. Thank you.

How can I increase my domain authority score?
We've jumped up in our rankings, page authority scores, and our toolbar PR over the past year, but our domain authority score remains the same as it was this time last year. I have noticed that for most people's sites, domain authority is typically higher than page authority, and my suspicion is that our domain authority score staying static is capping our page authority potential to some degree. Our SEOmoz scores are quite low for our toolbar PR. I've looked at the SEOmoz page relating to domain authority, and it rather vaguely says 'improve SEO generally across your site'. Other than age, the only thing I can think of is that maybe we have backlinks ranging across too broad a spectrum of topics. Being a web hosting company, we get a lot of links from our customers' sites that aren't related to our industry. Anyone got any specific advice? To provide some context, it's a PR7 website that's around a decade old with links in the hundred thousands. We score just 59 for domain authority. Thanks in advance, Jenni
