A good free sitemap generator that works for MSN Search.

[WebMasterKrames]

Does anyone know of a free sitemap generator that works for MSN search? I've been using ong called "gsitemap" but guess what, it only seems to work with G. The sitemaps it gives me seem to give this error on MSN:

"Bad format while processing ping."

Yahoo doesn't even seem to have their sitemaps service in place yet when I try to ping with them.

Any help is appreciated.

Apparently you are saying we need to have tailored site maps for G, MSN & Yahoo?

How do you do the ping?

No, according to sitemaps.org, the same sitemap should work for all three, but it doesn't for some reason, at least not the ones I've made using Gsitemap.

The part that talks about pinging search engines is here: http://www.sitemaps.org/faq.html#faq_after_submission

It doesn't seem to work at all for yahoo, msn gives me the error above, I didn't try this technique with google, because I just use their sitemap tool.
