Awsome component. I am not a teccy and submitting site maps to the search engines I though was not going to be easy until I came across this. Fantastic - thanks. 1 button to press! how good is that?
I really enjoyed using this component. it develops fast and might be the next generation in sitemap creation. no plugins. no fuss...
support is great, quick, personal and friendly.
the component is getting more and more functions all the time, and i hope it will keep getting better so fast.

Absolutely the easiest sitemap component I've ever used. The automatic submission to search engines is nice too, although time will tell how well that actually works.
Easy install, does what it says. I was planning on spending all morning generating and submitting sitemaps to different places but with this tool I submitted to the top 5 in about 5 minutes.
This works great. Easy as butter. I just ran into one glitch as one of my sites and I doubt it is related to the extension: In the Adapt to your site area my "HTTP host (readonly)" is coming up with a subdirectory that doesn't even exist, this is causing an error in the subsequent sitemap.xml file and errors within Google. Any ideas?
Excellent extension! Does exactly what it's supposed to do, dead-simple install, runs quickly, even submits the sitemap for you to google, yahoo, msn, and 2 others! It actually took me longer to get my account registered here to be able to write this review than it did to install and run the extension! Highly recommend!
After trying a couple different extensions for creating Google sitemaps with little real success, I came across this little gem. It wasn't rated yet so I figured I better take care of that because it does exactly what it says. Other sitemap components generated files with errors, but not this one. You can even validate the sitemap from the admin panel. Installed in a snap and we were up and running with the Google sitemap. I did notice that there is an option to link to JCrawler from the Joomla menu items, but that seems to just throw an error, so I'm not sure what that is for, but who cares...
