DYNAMIC XML SITEMAP GENERATOR

This will help get your pages correctly indexed and once installed will automatically update every time you add or take away a web page from your site.
FAQ
Why do I need an XML sitemap?
Creating a search engine specific site map ensures that all of your pages can be found and indexed by the search engines. XML sitemaps are now supported by Google, Yahoo and MSN and can give the search engines more information than simply a URL.
What does the output of the xml mean?
The XML file that is created by the generator gives information about each of your web pages to the search engines.
<loc> Gives the URL of the page
<lastmod> Gives the date that the web page was last modified; this tells the search engine when there is a need to re-index your page or not.
<changefreq> Tells the search engine how often you anticipate the web page will be updated.
<priority> Gives a relative priority of your web pages.
If I set the priority to the highest on each page will this make the search engines think my pages are all very important?
No; this will not affect the ranking of the pages but merely give the search engines some idea of what you think are the most and least important pages on your site.
