    Hi all,

    I need to create xml sitemap for more then 2000 pages so please suggest
    that shell i include all the URLs in 1 xml sitemap or shell i create different sitemaps because of the more no. of URLs.

    Is there any free tool available to create xml sitemap for therse many no. of pages (or more then 1 xml sitemap creator), there are some tools which allow only 500 Urls in the sitemap.

    also if I create different xml sitemaps then what should the naming for those and max how many URLs in 1 sitemap?

    how can i submite more then 1 sitemap in google?

    Thanks & best regards

    Hi,
    I'd recommend using sitemap index, each one can handle 50.000 url's (for future content)

    best way of doing it is to have 500 on each page, though you can go upto 50000 on each sitemap...

    As others have said, you can use a sitemap index file that can references up to 1000 individual xml sitemap files. The official limit per XML sitemap file is 50.000 URLs. However, some products like my own, A1 Sitemap Generator, default (it is configurable) to split sooner, e.g. when passing 25.000 URLs.

    please use one site map for this if you have more then 50000+ URL then you can use sitemap2.xml but you have just 2000 url so please use only one sitemap for this
