Spidering settings

This page is no longer relevant / supported.

The indexing settings will determine how G-Mapper spiders your website to find files to include in your sitemap.

1. List the files in a particular folder on my website
   In this mode you tell G-Mapper where your website is saved on your local computer. G-Mapper then looks through all the files and sub folders to find files to include.
   Note : This is how always G-mapper worked up until version 2.5
2. Spider my website on my computer
   In this mode you tell G-Mapper where your home page is saved on your local computer. G-Mapper then looks for links in the homepage and attempts to follow them listing them in your sitemap as it goes.
3. Spider my live website
   In this mode you tell G-Mapper visits your website homepage and then looks for links to follow, listing them in your sitemap as it goes.
   To use this mode you must place a small code in the top of your website page to prove to G-Mapper that you own the website.
   Note : This is the slowest way to index your website as every page must be requested from your server.

You must also tell G-Mapper the type of files to include in the sitemap. You should enter a comma separated list such as .htm, .html, .shtml, .aspx
