Best tool for drawing sitemaps?
-
Drawing up sitemaps is one of those tasks that seems to take me twice as long to do electronically that it does on paper. Unfortunately, sitemaps scribbled on sheets of A4 paper aren't much good for sending and sharing.
So, Mozzers, what tool or software do you recommend for drawing up sitemaps quickly and easily?
So far I've tried using Visio, Excel and Word but if there's a dedicated tool out there, that would be awesome.
Thanks in advance,
Cheers

are you able to generate a website diagram based off a sitemap.xml ?
-
I've gone back to visio. I know it isn't cheap, but I worked out that the other tools were losing me more money in waasted time.

While its not made specifically for sitemaps, but for small to medium sites we use MindNode for mac, Its a really easy to use tool. Clients seem to like the look of it also. Its also free!
-
http://writemaps.com/ hands down. Its a free online tool.
You can also search for "free visual sitemap generator" on Google
Thanks,

Or if you are Win user, you can use Dia. It looks really ugly, but its free and relatively capable.

If you are mac user, try OmniGraffle. One of the best tools, I've evere worked with.

Hi guys! Is there a tool (other than SEMRush) that can show you which keywords are ranking for Google Knowledge Graph? Thanks :)
I've also seen that you can get some data about this in Search Metrics but can't see where? Thanks for your help!

The tools "term extractor" and "explore links" consistently give no data
I am accessing these tools from the "Rankings Report" page and looking at competitors pages. I click on the dropdown next to the keyword and select either "extract terms" or "explore links". In both cases I get a message that says SEOmoz has no data for the page in question. This happens consistently for many keywords and pages. What gives?

How trustworthy is Google's Keyword Tool for organic search research?
Can anyone (not Google affliated) explain to me where Google's data really comes from in their Keyword Tool? Is it at all based on organic search? Or only on Google Ads related data? I know there was some controversy back in June '10 and the Google remedied the return of suggested keywords but I can't seem to get a clear answer (other than from the Google blog itself) whether the search volumes returned are truly indicative of organic search. Am I relying on the wrong tool? Do those more savvy than I only rely on the keyword tool for PPC research. Please help! I'm obsessing over my numbers here. 🙂

Google Keyword Tool
I have been analysing some specific seasonal keywords in terms of search volume within the Google keyword tool. When I download the google keyword volume for each term, this is displayed as a monthly average. I am wanting to get search volume over previous months which I am sure the Google keyword tool used to offer Does anyone have a solution to this? Thanks Simon
