I need to generate a sitemap for a website which contains 1000 pages and it will soon be more then this and I was wondering what's the best way to do this and how? I know that hxxp://***.xml-s!t3m4ps.c0m/ generates sitemap's but it has a limit of a maximum of 500 pages.

You use a local script to create it. If you are concerned about the list been too long, do what google did. They create links to their -other- site maps from one main site map.

where do you get your data from? a database? i programmed a little script that generates the sitemap in realtime. this is the easyest and quickest way i guess.

If you have python on your server you can use this tool from google which works for me.

Code:

https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/docs/en/sitemap-generator.html

I also have seen this pure php solution which I have not personally tried. It includes a pdf with full instructions in the download.

Code:

Hope one of these works for you.

for big sitemaps and free one, I find p*hp*sit*ema*p*ng (remove stars) the best one, you will never get worried about the pages after it, it even submits to google,msn,yahoo !!!
