Thnak you so much for getting me this far! Have tried the ROR and Net before and got nowhere.

Now, I have downloaded the ROR and Net 1.0 but it said I needed 1.4...didn´t have that one from Brad´s link so I downloaded the 1.0 and it opened the ROR but it isn´t the same form shown above it has two fields to fill out
1. Input text file and 2. Output ROR feed.
I do not know what to do, please help

The easiest way is to run ROR directly on their site. Click on http://www.rorweb.com/rormap.htm

enter your site URL and click on "Generate Sitemap". Then copy the generated file on your computer, and from it to your site, as ror.xml

That's very puzzling isn't it. I'm looking for an answer to the problem too. :)

You can also run ROR directly on your sitemap page, so it will find all the links. Just make sure that your manual sitemap links are correct. You can do that through BV, using the Link Verifier

Re: Your Google Sitemap

Thanks Naval... I have followed your insturctions, but when I get to adding the line of code to the <head> on my index page, I am lost again.
Where´s my head? Thought it stayed with me at all times. but seems to be somewhere unknown.

Then there is the problem of how do I upload to my root directory?

Am I dumb or what????

Re: Your Google Sitemap

Hola again,
I found the page html by right clicking the page and I copied it into the between the head. Is that right?
Thanks so much...
Still don´t know how to upload to root directory.

Create a temporary text link from your homepage to your sitemap page. You can delete it after running ROR . The text link will help ROR find your sitemap page and consequently all the other links.

Yo Naval,

Everything is in place now.

Kum Xia!!!!! (Thank You in Hokkien)

I'm sorry but i don't understand. What line of code you try to put in your page html ? and why ?

If you have created a sitemap page as mine, go to the ror site and run ror giving in the URL field the URL of your sitemap page. Ror will generate the necessary code (in xml). Copy the code. Open Notepad, paste the code in it, and go to Save As, select File type "All files", and save it "ror.xlm" inside your BV folder. Upload this "ror.xlm" file on your site, using BlueFTP. You're done.

Re: Your Google Sitemap

Naval, Sorry to be so abtuse.
When I click on the ROR site you have provided I add my URL to the http line and click. The program then tells me that it has found 10 URLs, I am told "when done, just copy the code above and paste it into a text editor (e.g. Notepad), save the file as ror.xml (or sitemap.xml), and upload the file into the top (or root) folder of your website (don't paste the code into your page). " I have done that.
Next is a box with a line of code that I am to
"Add this line in the <head> of your main page for the search engines (If you name your sitemap file sitemap.xml , be sure to also change this tag to reflect that):" I have done that as well, BUT!!!

What I thought was happening was the ROR program would generate the map for me, but if I understand you correctly from message above, I need to design a site map page and then do the RORfeedgen. Is that correct?

Re: Your Google Sitemap

Let me explain: ror, as other sitemappers too, CANNOT create a visual sitemap for visitor use. Others, on the other hand, can, but i don't really like the result. So I created my own manually, as it can be seen in www.navaldesign.info/sitemap.html , then i had my sitemaper create the xml file that i uploaded on my site, and i also submitted to ggogle. So, the visual part, as my page, helps the visitor find what he wants. The xml file, created by ROR or anyother sitemaper, helps the SE find all the links in your site.

**Charles Shaw** · 07-21-2006, 06:39 PM

Re: Your Google Sitemap

Okay. I will start designing the site map and then follow your instructions!
Thanks again, Naval.

Re: Your Google Sitemap

Hi from Phil in Oz

I cannot download ROR or NET due to my PC having problems with XP SP2.

I intend changing to Vista later on when it is released. I'll probably wait for version 3.0 (ha ha) V SP8 (ha ha).

Anyway, is there an easy way to create a site map in BV? I will have about 20-30 pages when complete with some second tier pages that wont be linked from the Home Page. Obviously from what I've read in the Forum it has to be Googlerisable (hey I created a new term (ha, ha)).

Thanks

Re: Your Google Sitemap

Read the posts above. You can run ROR directly from their website, without downloading or installing anuthing. Then just copy the code created, save it on your computer as ror.xml , upload it on your public_html, and create a link in your home page, to the ror file.

Otherwise create your own manual sitemap, and link to it from homepage. Look at : www.navaldesign.info/sitemap.html

You can use BlueFTP to upload it. Click the below to learn more about BlueFTP.
