Slow but does the job

Uploading a file to signify ownership of the site you want to crawl is not a problem if you build websites. Just a matter of FTPing a file that this app provides. About the same thing Google requires if you want to use Google’s webmaster tools with a site. It’s obviously an issue if you want to crawl a website you don’t have access to. If that’s your case, don’t buy this app.

The app seems to do a pretty good job of crawling a website although it takes awhile with any significant number of pages. I crawled a site with an osCommerce store as well as a WordPress blog and it found everything. The site map, however included a lot of extraneous links like ‘buy now’ for each item in the store. It didn’t take long to clean up the sitemap.xml file after it was generated. I haven’t experimented with the filter system, but there may be a way to create a better sitemap from within the app.
