How to create a tree-like structure map of a website?

[djingel1]

Hi all,

The online marketing manager requested to make a tree-like map of the website. He means that he would like to see a graphical representation of the website and his contents. This way we will be able to see if there are internal link issues.

The problem is that there are thousands of pages and many subdomains, manual labour would make this a very tedious task.

If you would get this question, how would you try to solve this? Any software recommendation?

Powermapper is very cool: http://www.powermapper.com/download/mapper/index.htm

It will give you a visual representation of the site and has a free trial so you have a go. I have not used for a site with over 1000 pages but it is certainly good for sites with hundreds of pages.

It allows you to output to HTML, PDF etc so really can help give you an idea of site structure.

Hope it helps.

I have never had to do it but there are tools like PowerMapper which is quite pricey for what it does.  Does he actually want a visual one or more like a tree like structure.  This probably more 'doable; by dumpinghte XML into some formatting tool and importing it into HTML.

Hi

Not sure if the software in this post is too 'artistic' but maybe something there will work.  From SEOgadget / Richard Baxter
