Command: Create ROR Sitemap

Generates a ROR Sitemap file (ror.xml) based on the linked pages of the menu items.

What is ROR

ROR is a rapidly growing XML format for describing your website in a generic fashion, so that search engines can find and discover information more easily. ROR information is stored in a ROR file called ror.xml placed in the top directory (root folder) of your website. ROR can describe a large variety of objects: sitemaps, products, services, articles, images, menus, feeds, contact information, business information, reviews, etc.

What is a ROR Sitemap

A ROR Sitemap allows you to inform search engine crawlers about URLs on your Web sites that are available for crawling. A Sitemap consists of a list of URLs and may also contain additional information about those URLs, such as when they were last modified, how frequently they change, etc.

How the AllWebMenus feature helps

AllWebMenus lets you create an ROR Sitemap using all the links included in your menu structure (therefore, the most important links of your website).

If a menu item does not link to a page (i.e. its <Link> property is blank) it appears in gray color and will not be included in the generated ROR Sitemap xml file.

You can select values for the following properties:

Last Modified Date

Change Frequency

Priority

The <default> value means that the xml file will not include any special value for the selected entry.

The <automatic> value means that AllWebMenus reads the actual Last Modified Date of the associated files when the Sitemap generation process starts.

The <Base URL> property should be the online root folder of the website.

The <Location> property is the local root folder of your website. This is where the file ror.xml will be created. You should not forget to upload this file on your server so that sites can track and use it.
