Firetank feeds are excellent. I highly recommend them.

thanks do you know which one? I cant see one on their site that says its for Google, or have I missed it?

I went ahead and purchased the Feed Manager which includes all the feeds and the Sitemap Generator. If you plan on using Shopping Comparison sites, it is well worth the small investment. If you only want the sitemaps, then check the forum, there was a really good site for generating those on a post by Balinor which I used before. But if you really need google base, rss or anything else along these lines, the Feed Manager will be a great savings.

Here is the Advanced SiteMap http://www.firetanksoftware.com/fts/customer/product.php?productid=70

and the Feed Manager:http://www.firetanksoftware.com/fts/customer/Feed-Manager-Pro-Bundle-all-Feeds-pid-137.html

Actually I purchased mine through http://www.BCSEngineering.com as I had them install it for me and they are very nice to work with. You can get it from either site. Please note, I am just a happy customer and not affiliated with either.

HI Acquamarina, thanks for that. Yes I dont need all the feeds, Im just interested in Yahoo / Google & MSN (and any other search engines that contribute to the full set)

BCS Eng are good guys, very helpful, They've done most of my installs too.

Best wishes and thanks once again

THanks savajr,

that looks like it'll do the job. I didnt see anything at Firetank that said it did Google. THis one covers the top three and looks like its an easy install so even better.

Thank you once again

Sorry I posted my previous comment on the wrong thread. We put this Google site map on our website. http://www.xml-sitemaps.com/ There is a free version if your website is small but we had to upgrade to the paid version which was still cheap. Google and Google Webmaster Tools liked it.
Let me issue a word of warning though and I had to learn this the hard way. As soon as Google's bot visits your website to read that sitemap you have placed your website under a microscope with Google. Unknown to me I had a website designer who was unfamiliar with PHP. I had duplicate content out on Google. One set of products in HTML and a second set in PHP. When I submitted that sitemap and Google declined it they also very silently hit us with a duplicate content violation. All our products sank off the face of Google never to be found again by buyers. We were never contacted that we were hit with a duplicate content violation but it was never a question. Being inexperienced we just knew something was wrong. Having someone experienced look over the website and find the error wasn't hard. BCS Enginneering's programs fixed everything quickly once we knew we had a problem. So before you submit your website to Google with a sitemap take the time to look over your website for any errors. It was an expensive and painful lesson.
