I am evaluating the sitemap tool and really like it apart from speed to create a large sitemap (this could be my current connection speed however).
One simple question though - once I have generated a large sitemap I want a way to quickly add all new URLs I create each week to the sitemap.
How can I quickly do this? I'm sure there is a way without scanning everything all over again.
I have just created and uploaded my first sitemap so I am very new but I hope to purchase and make good use of this tool if all goes well.
Any help appreciated. :)
I just made a quick test of A1SG speed.
Set it to scan http://www.computergameplayer.com
use 31 connections set in "Scan website | Crawler engine" (max for unregistered)
(If you do not see the option, click off the button "Simplified easy mode"!)
A1SG did 400+ URLs in about 20 seconds (not counting URLs removed after website scan finishes) which is quite fast. (Server is in US. I am in Europe) Do remember that A1SG actually has to download and analyze all page URLs :)
You can see tips on improving speed for both server, internet connection and A1SG at create xml sitemaps of large websites (http://www.microsystools.com/products/sitemap-generator/help/creating-sitemaps-large-websites/) help page.
You can resume and recrawl websites (http://www.microsystools.com/products/sitemap-generator/help/sitemap-generator-resume-scan/), but A1SG needs to crawl website to find new URLs. (If a problem you can always split your website into multiple projects using analysis filters and output filters)
Feel free to write here / email / PM if you have problems with any of above! :)
