When I build sitemaps for websites, I like to use the program GSiteCrawler from GSiteCrawler.com. It sends a bot through your website and then helps you build both a Google and Yahoo! friendly sitemap.
The program cruises through the building of a sitemap or even a robots.txt file for your site.
It will even connect to your site via ftp and upload the file automatically if you want to do that or you can upload the sitemap manually.
You can also create an html Sitemap file and complete many other functions as well.
As a search engine junkie, I love to search for information that is imperative to my marketing projects.
My associate recently was given the mission to organize her family reunion. She went to different search engines to find any information relating to her kinfolk. She struggled through the normal search for people through MySpace and Facebook profiles, and genealogy sites. It just wasn’t efficient.
I remembered the beta version of search engine Peekyou had just been released.
Decided to assist her in trying it out. (fyi- Peekyou.com is categorized as a specialized search engine with something like a phonebook database.)
As the search for her kinfolk went on, she found the Peekyou search engine to be fun, easy and efficient. But it has some minor miles to go in finding information on people. We ran a series of tests and found all of those who were interested in putting their lives on-line. Peekyou.com has over 50 Million Profiles in their Beta system (including my own, which I did not enter, but did update).
After a hr of test drive, I believe Peekyou holds great promises of being a player in this niche of finding people. With some more additions of detailed profiles, it will be taken seriously as a search engine of people.
