Do I need both my sitemaps.xml and a sitemapsindex.xml on the root of my domain?? They both seem to have the same info in but I cannot find anywhere that says you must use one or the other - or is it the same thing?? http://ascinv.com/ - do you think if you list your url on all the threads we will get indexed quicker
I would highly recommend you to use sitemap.xml as it's suppose to be the standard (not yet recognized by any authority) but hope it will be approved as standard soon. Unlike this you can have it a name of your choice (similar to the case of favicon) if you use different name you have to link to that name and submit that url. Btw, look at the google itself:- http://www.google.com/sitemap.xml they are using sitemap.xml
Hey, I am using a sitemap.xml for one of my sites but Google says there are "errors". What could be the problem? Col

That file was so big it crashed my browser! Anywhoo, yeah, follow whatever Google do themselves with regards to their sitemap
I originally put a sitemap in every folder for each adsense site but then read somewhere that I should create a sitemap index to point to all sitemaps on my domain - did I not need to do this?? Is it over kill ?? I'm sure I read it on Google but can't find the article now
If your domain has more than 50,000 url's or if the sitemap is larger than 10mb then you need to use several sitemaps and a sitemap index, which links to the sitemap.xml files. I need to do this with my site soon as the sitemap is stuck at 40,000 url's for some reason!
