Build ROR Sitemaps Using A1 Sitemap Generator

While most major search engines do officially support the ROR extensions of RSS, ROR sitemap files do contain more website information than pure RSS feed files.

To get started creating ROR files for your website and search engines, A1 Sitemap Generator will have to find all URLs in your website. In the Scan website tab, simply enter your website address and click Start scan.



When done, select Create sitemap tab and choose ROR sitemap (RSS). Then just click the Build selected button.

This creates a ROR file that extends RSS. As the RSS specification uses XML for storage, the generated ROR file also uses XML. You can see an example below where the ROR extensions have been highlighted in bold.
