Build a Google Sitemap XML file!

Use the form below to add entries to a Google Sitemap XML file, then press the "build" button to complete your new sitemap. Copy & Paste the text of the file from form into a blank text document. Upload that file to your web server root, tell Google about it, and watch your site's hits and ranking go through the roof.

Only the URL is required. The other fields are optional and may be excluded from your site map entries by either leaving them blank or checking the apropriate checkbox. It is important to include the 'http://' part of your URL so that the Googlebot has the absolute address for your files. Additionally, be certain that none of the files listed in your site map are restricted in robots.txt for visits from the Googlebot.

This tool will encode your URLs for use in an XML file, convert last modified dates and escape all your entities that require escaping.
