"Download" will allow you to save the sitemap to your local PC.

Frequency

How often search engines will review the sitemap to check for any changes.

Priority

Which pages are more important to YOU. Technically, each page can be rated individually on a scale from 0.0 to 1.0. However, according to most references, this has no bearing on how google indexes or prioritizes pages. We recommend just keeping this set to 0.5

File Types

Enter the extensions for files you want PHP Sitemap Maker to search for. Seperate each item with a space.

Ignore File Names

Enter specific file names to skip. For example, if you'd like to ignore all files named "bob.html", then enter bob.html (no quotes, just the base file name) into the field. seperate each entry with a space.

Ignore Folder Names

Sames as above, but for folders instede.

Ignore files and/or folders that start with...

You can choose to ignore files and folders that begin with a certain character, or couple of characters...

For example, you can add "_" or "copy of" to this setting and file names such as:

_index.html
copy of index .html

... will be ignored.
