What is a good way to make a site map that is spiderable?

[budbiss]

I see that there are PHP scripts out there that will automatically create site maps. Are these any good for the most part? Are they spiderable? Does anyone have one that they would suggest?

Any that generates a site map on a single page w/standard HTML links to the pages should be spiderable just fine. In general, dynamic scripts are considered less spiderable the more parameters there are in the url's. A good site map generator might even just make an html page for you, which would be nicely cacheable, too.

Thank you for the advice; are there any specific scripts that you would recommend?

Sorry, have never tried any. I tend to write sites in php from the ground up anyways, so haven't had the need to try sitemap scripts. Just find a bunch that are easy to use and see what the results are - this should be a real straightforward, easy kind of app.

Can anyone else recommend any site map scripts that are good?
