How to create XML sitemap for larger website?
-
We need to create XML sitemap for a website that has more than 2 million pages. Please suggest me the best software to create XML sitemap for the website.
Since there are different strategies that larger websites submit sitemaps, let me know the best way to submit this sitemap for website of this size.
Or Is there any tool provided by SEOmoz for XML sitemap generation for larger websites?
-
Thanks a lot for your suggestion. We have successfully run 500 URI limit using trial version of this Screaming Frog software. We will check up with the licensed version of the software.

Our website is built with ASP and there is no plugin/extension for XML sitemaps

Screaming Frog is quite good I seem to remember, it will crawl all your URL's then create the sitemap for you. You may need to change the "priority" of the pages but the hard work is pretty much done for you.

What's the website built with? Doesn't it have a module/plugin/extension for XML sitemaps?

Does Twitter Feed create backlinks?
Hi all, This morning I have seen a new backlink coming to one of our client's website. I have checked the link and it is a page full of social network feeds. I guess when i tweet something related to their subject it came up on their page and that has became a back link for me . Here is the link for the page that i get back link: http://www.brandigg.de/nachname/Burns I don't think this page has a pure link coming to my site but My questions is that does twitter or facebook feeds give back links? If they are backlinks then are they considered as spam links? I am also trying to recover from penguin update, I was wondering if this could be the reason for my Penguin hit or not. Thanks for any input in advance, Seda

How Do I Generate a Sitemap for a Large Wordpress Site?
Hello Everyone! I am working with a Wordpress site that is in Google news (i.e. everyday we have about 30 new URLs to add to our sitemap) The site has years of articles, resulting in about 200,000 pages on the site. Our strategy so far has been use a sitemap plugin that only generates the last few months of posts, however we want to improve our SEO and submit all the URLs in our site to search engines. The issue is the plugins we've looked at generate the sitemap on-the-fly. i.e. when you request the sitemap, the plugin then dynamically generates the sitemap. Our site is so large that even a single request for our sitemap.xml ties up tons of server resources and takes an extremely long time to generate the sitemap (if the page doesn't time out in the process). Does anyone have a solution? Thanks, Aaron
