Visual XML Sitemaps Tools
Creating XML sitemaps is not just dumping a file with all your crawled pages. With Visual SEO Studio visual editing you can exactly control their content.
XML sitemaps are a powerful tool to
state the search engines the way you want your pages being indexed,
or de-indexed. Visual SEO Studio, with its Sitemaps Tools, gives you
complete control over the process.
The normal sitemap generation lets you visually cherry pick the pages visited during a crawl session; from an "all selected" index tree view you can deselect the branches you do not desire being included, may be because you think they should not be crawled in the first place but had no time to sculpt the crawl path.
