Not finding all of my links.
« on: October 11, 2006, 04:39:00 PM »
I have tried using your free sitemap generator, but it is not finding any of my links.  I wonder what is your criteria for following links.  My site has been varified by W3C.

Best Regards

I too am experiencing that issue with a sub area on my site.  It just finds the first page - but the not subpages.

Anyone finding that the free online generator is not picking up pages on their sites should try our search engine robot simulator at https://www.xml-sitemaps.com/se-bot-simulator.html

This will show you how your pages are seen by search engine robots and what links there are in the page.

Common reasons for not picking up additional pages are:

1. javascript menus
2. pages from sub-domains (they are seen as different sites) ie [ External links are visible to forum administrators only ] is not the same as subdomain.mysite.com
3. Similarly if your start page is [ External links are visible to forum administrators only ] and your additional pages are mysite.com/newpage.html these won't be picked up either as again [ External links are visible to forum administrators only ] and mysite.com are seen as different sites.
