Re: Google Sitemaps
fusionX, that xml-sitemaps.com site looks interesting but... I never put quotes around my URLs and so it spat out meaningless links like:
"http://mashups.com/about.htmabout<"
I'll keep an eye on it though in case they start allowing bad coding like mine.
I may try the python script that Google recommends but there's a problem with both of these. They only spider links. We want to find all pages - so I find it best to go through my FTP program looking at every .htm page and then pasting it into xml by hand - that way I know I've got them all - even if I haven't correctly linked between them for spiders.
Oh, and Google also tells you a lot about your PR and where you are in Google for certain serach terms - they really are opening up about what they do - they must be quite confident they can avoid scam.
