The traditional way to create sitemap is to do it manually: open a plain-text editor or Dream Weaver, then use XML tags defined by Sitemap protocol and follow the Sitemap example (you can find more on Sitemap for Google) to edit your sitemap.
However, this manual way may be very tedious and time-consuming if your site contains larger than 10 URLs. Moreover, it is very likely that you will make mistakes when dealing with so many URLs, XML tags, and metadata about each URL, which can lead to an incomplete or invalid sitemap.
There are many sitemap generators out there, which can automatically crawl your site and generate sitemaps in minutes. With the help of such tools, you can create sitemap more quickly and effectively.
SiteMap X is a free trustworthy sitemap generator which can instantly generate sitemap of high quality. And it is not only a sitemap generator, but also a URL examiner, sitemap uploader and search engine pinger. You can entrust it with the whole process of sitemap building, and then wait for the indexing problem of your site being solved once for all.

Finally I find a good sitemap generator that can fully satisfy all my needs! I have been long tired of the trail cycle: downloading a new sitemap generator, using it to build sitemaps for my site, finding it unsatisfactory, uninstalling it, and trying a new one. With SiteMap X, I can instantly create sitemap with high quality, and even need not do the work of uploading and pinging myself. Many thanks!
