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 Moz tools help me with this effort?

Then I want to create landing page, rank them using seo techniques, and collect optin email addresses so I can communicate with interested users and build helpful products. With all the moz tools available to us, how can I accomplish the above mentioned goal? Have you done some thing similar? What are your experiences? Am I talking pie in the sky? Are there any practical examples where all these steps were executed? Thanks

Which Google API do you use to creat a rank checking tool?
I can't seem to work this one out. Basically I want to make a very simple rank checker tool something similar to http://www.mikes-marketing-tools.com/ranking-reports/ where a user simply type in a domain and a keyword and in return is shown the position within the results. The problem is I can’t work out which API's I need in order to build it, does anyone know what I need to poke about with? It must work with Google and ideally with Bing and the rest

Where can I view all of the Questions that I have Subscribed to?
I recently asked a question about viewing the questions I have answered already: http://www.seomoz.org/q/where-can-i-view-all-of-the-questions-that-i-have-answered It turns out the link was right under my nose (but it appears a lot of people were having this issue). I'm now having the problem of not being able to see where I can view all the Q&As that I have subscribed to. Again, I may just be missing a link that's right in front of me but it certainly isn't obvious. Any help much appreciated!
