Hi;
My sitemap file has my all url. On the other hand i have news section and it has rss feed with rss.xml and this file contain all news url. I submit sitemap.xml and rss.xml to gwt. So my question is should i delete news url from main sitemap file?
Thanks

Both an XML Sitemap and a News feed are used for discovering URLs - there's never any guarantee about indexing or ranking. So I don't see any reason to worry about having the same URLs in two different ways. Google's crawling is done from a pool that is created and prioritized algorithmically, and they will sort out the duplication.
