I think you're being overly concerned about getting an issues from an online generator of sitemaps. &nbsp;if you do a quick Google on your selected product and nothing obvious stands out about it being not trustworthy, I think you're good to go. &nbsp;There are so many other ways for people to more effectively spread their viruses and whatnot that sitemaps probably don't rank very highly for them.<br />

thanks. &nbsp; I am familiar with that goods list. &nbsp; one final question. &nbsp; given that I would like to generate both an xml and html do you think it is worth shelling out to pay for a software package?

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I want to create a new sitemap.xml AND a sitemap.html<br />
<br />
I know that there are a lot of free services on the Internet for sitemap.xml and some of them seem good.<br />
But I am concerned about importing any viruses or malaware in the file onto my new website.<br />
For this reason I am considering &nbsp;paying for a s/w package that would do both the xml and the html files.<br />
Can you recommend any please?

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the visibility of web content in search engines using an understanding of search engines' processes and algorithms. Also known as "natural" or "organic" search, it is distinct from paid web advertising. Performance is typically measured by testing the appearance of a website for targeted search terms, and more specifically, ranked positions in search for important keywords. Techniques focus on content optimization, technical optimization and link building.

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the main markup language for creating web pages and other information to be displayed in a web browser, providing both the structure and content for what is sent from a web server through the use of tags. The current implementation of the HTML specification is HTML5.

HTML

Extensible Markup Language (XML) refers to the encoding of documents such that they can be read by both machines and humans. XML documents use tags to show the beginning and end of a set of data. XML is used extensively on websites to show volumes of data, and is the default for a number of office productivity suites. This topic includes discussions of XML-related technologies, such as XQuery (the XML Query language), XPath (the XML Path language), XSLT (eXtensible Stylesheet Language Transformations), XLink (the XML Linking language) and XPointer (the XML Pointer language).
