Hi, I have .xml sitemap in my website. this sitemap includes many child sitemaps. Meaning the maste sitemap.xml includes only the urls of child sitemaps. And the child sitemaps includes individial category product urls. I have submitted the master sitemap in google. Do I have to submit the child sitemaps too? or will google takes the child sitemaps by itself? Since I submitted the new sitemap in the above specified format, google has not indexed any of my pages.. Please advise me if I am doing anything wrong here...
why you had to create child sitemap instead of putting all the urls in one sitemap itself, what is the number of pages that you are putting in the sitemap?
I am using a free service to create the sitemap. That allows only 500 urls per sitemap. So, I decided to create separate sitemap for each category and having a master sitemap which includes all the child sitemaps urls. So, do I have to submit the child sitemaps separately in google. or can u suggest any free sitemap generator tool?
It still generates only 500 links on sitemap. This one http://enarion.net/google/phpsitemapng/ is unlimited I think.
