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?

Can I batch export top 5 or 10 SERPS for each keyword in my campaign
I'm a newby. I have about 70 keywords and I want to create a list of all of the websites ranking in the top say 10 positions. This is to create a list of competitors in my client's space. How do I do this? I poked around but can only see single-keyword search capability to get the full serp listing (top 50). thanks.

Is there anything SEMRush Guru or Enterprise level has that I can't do with SEOMoz Pro?
Okay fellow in-house SEOs, I need some advice please. We are considering an upgrade from SEOMoz Pro to Pro Elite. For a business our size, this is a major investment. I need some compelling reasons why we should go with this upgrade in lieu of simply adding an upgraded membership at SEMRush. Aside from more keywords tracked and more pages crawled (We only have about 5,000 pages, so I'm not sure more pages crawled is even something we need). Right now, it seems the only benefit to us would be the ability to track 2500 more keywords. We don't need more campaigns and we don't need more pages crawled. An extra $300/month is a lot to pay just for the sole benefit of adding more keywords. The reason we are considering this is because we have 6-7 product lines that are all quite different from each other, different keywords, different competitors. All of these products lines are enormously competitive, so of course we want to track each (with competitors) separately so that when I build a Ranking Index (which I learned how to do beautifull thanks to this post by AJ Kohn a few days ago), that my Ranking Index is a truer picture of how we are doing for keywords related to specific product lines, against the right specific competitors. Because of the keyword limitations in SEOMoz Pro (1,000 max), we can't come close to covering everything. Is increasing our level at SEOMoz really the best, most affordable option to do what we want to do? I realize I might get some bias here, but we are really trying to research cost-effective options, as $4,790 is a huge investment for us. Thoughts?

Can I prevent some pages from being crawled from SEOMoz spider and still not affect Google Spider?
Well, basically that's the question 😄 Can I prevent some pages from being crawled from SEOMoz spider and still not affect Google Spider? This is, I have more than 10.000 pages on the website, and I am not interested in having reports for many of them, but I still wanna get SEO visits on them, so I want Google to crawl it easily... Thanks!

Creating a SEO Report
We are looking to create a SEO report that is broken down by keywords. The traffic that the keywords generate for the site, the rankings in the search engines, the number of backlinks that have used the keyword as anchor text. We have a few tools that can do some of this, but are looking to find something that can aggregate all this info into a clean report. We are wondering if anyone knows a good website/application that can help manage a month-to-month report on the aspects above. Thanks!
