Sitemap Creation From A Database

Scripts To Create Search Engine Maps From Your Data

The sitemap protocol is used by the search engines to find and index the pages on your site. The protocol is currently used by the major search engines (Google, Yahoo, Microsoft and Ask.com) to find pages to index.

The sitemap file is easy to create for small sites but sites with hundreds (or thousands) of pages based on databases pose a tougher problem.

I faced this problem because this site has over 250 articles stored in a database and I need an easy way to maintain a sitemap with URLs for all of these articles. I wrote a custom script to use the database of articles to update the sitemap whenever an article is added. This script only reads data from your database, it doesn't change your database in any way.

Dynamic Search Engine Sitemap Example

We have hundreds of search engine promotion articles on searchenginepromotionhelp.com. Information about each article is stored in a database and used to create a sitemap for the search engines. This sitemap lets the search engines quickly index the latest articles automatically.

You can see the dynamic sitemap here.
