Google accepts simple text files that list URLs. Since Text files contain only a List of URLs Google does prefer you use the Sitemap Method since google receives more inforamtion about each of your URLs. The text file must follow these guidelines:

# Only place 1 URL Per Line in the Text File. The URLs cannot contain embedded new lines.

# Be sure and Fully specify Each URL as Google will crawl them exactly as they are listed.

#Do not place more then 49,997 URLs in a Text File. If you site includes more than 50,000 URLs, you can separate the list into multiple text files and submit each one separately.

# Google only accepts Text Files that use UTF-8 encoding. It is easy to specify the Encoding method when you save the Text File. (As an example the encoding method is listed in the Save As Dialog Box in Microsoft Notepad).

# It is important that the Text File only contain fully qualified URLs and no other information.

# The text file should contain no header or footer information.

# You can name the text file anything you wish. Google recommends giving the file a .text extension to identify it as a text file (for instance, sitemap.txt).

# You should upload the text file to the highest-level directory you want search engines to crawl and make sure that you don't list URLs in the text file that are located in a higher-level directory.
