oggyswain Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 I was trying to create a xml sitemap using an online free program. I discovered once I create the sitemap that it only saw the links on the page it did not see any of the header tab links. Is there a way to get the programs to search the flash headers for links as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falkencreative Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 I don't believe so -- programs like that can't find links within flash files (and search engine spiders won't see those links either.) You'll probably need to add those manually. ...if that means you are using flash in your main navigation, I'd highly suggest that you don't, since search engine spiders in general don't understand flash and it will hurt your search engine rankings.

oggyswain Posted February 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 So if I am using a flash header I should create the header links separately Correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct -- just look at the XML file that was generated for you, and add links following the same style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a way I could create an xml sitemap from that? It would save a lot of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
