What do we do if sections of our website have multiple pages (?page=X)?

I'm in the process of creating a Sitemap, and I was wondering what I should do if certain sections of my webpage are broken down into multiple pages -- do I include every page?

For reference, each "page" is just a listing of 5 different images; there's no additional text or content. So the structure would look like:

domain.com/cat1/
domain.com/cat1/?page=2
domain.com/cat1/?page=3

domain.com/cat2/
domain.com/cat2/?page=2
domain.com/cat2/?page=3

Would it be better to just include domain.com/cat1/ and domain.com/cat2/ in the Sitemap and leave the additional pages out?

 

I think you should put all the pages in on the sitemap. My site is like that too, it just has two main pages then it uses query strings - I use xml-sitemaps.com/ to generate my sitemaps for google and it automaticly adds all the individual pages with querystrings, ie index.asp?x=page1 index.asp?x=page2 etc etc.
To see what I mean:

Hope that helps,

I'd include them, but i'd mark the first page as higher importance

 

Thanks. I purchased that and it worked perfect

 

I would add all the files to your sitemap.

There is no need to pay when it's free - Webmaster Tools

 

Exactly, thats what I too did.

 

make sure you regulary update it, if you add extra pages.
