Hey guys, I took a look at our site's sitemap for the first time (I'm still a newbie!), and I have a few questions about things...
We have two sitemap indexes with one sitemaps in each. Shouldn't we have one sitemap index with the two sitemaps in them?
Also, should you include every page of your site that you want spidered in your sitemap? Our homepage is listed and then our deepest URLS, but not any of our category or subcategory pages. Shouldn't we include them in our sitemap, as well?
And lastly, our first sitemap starts by introducing the homepage, like:
- <url>
<loc>http://www.example.com/</loc>
<lastmod>2008-07-30</lastmod>
<changefreq>weekly</changefreq>
<priority>0.8</priority>
</url>
But our second sitemap just starts listing more deep URLs. Should both sitemaps start with listing the homepage?
Thanks for all your help, guys!
