    Hi all,

    Interested to know if anyone's seen any benefit from category specific sitemaps. In other words adding a separate sitemap for each section of your site. (this is mainly for ecom/large sites with hundreds of products). This could be both html and xml sitemaps.

    Let me know if you've used this and seen any benefit with an improved indexation?

    Cheers,

    3oxfresh

    It could be easier to maintain and keep updated if you e.g. schedule crawl and sitemap generation
