Okay i am creating my sitemap, just wondering whether i need to list each page as a seperate url ie. Say i have say i have a link that displays information but this spans x pages, does my site map need/should include each x page number
If your pages have different urls... Then yes. Yes: http://example.com/article/my-topic.html?page=1 No: http://example.com/article/my-topic.html#page1
I couldn't get your example.com links to work for some reason. I thought you might like to know. I ended up having trouble with Google's site map tool and my server being able to work together, so I made a text document, including every URL and then I did the same for Yahoo. One of the guys in the Google forum actually suggested that was better anyway, because Google tends to be very finicky and it's hard for them to find anything they don't like in a text document . If you go with text files, the main thing after listing every distinct URL is to name the files appropriately: sitemap.txt for Google and urllist.txt for Yahoo.
