    Sitemaps should not have duplicate URL's, but what about images? I have some pages that have some images in common, can i add duplicate images?

    Example:

    <url>
    <loc>http://example.com/sample1.html</loc>
    <image:image>
    <image:loc>http://example.com/image.jpg</image:loc>
    </image:image>
    <loc>http://example.com/sample2.html</loc>
    <image:image>
    <image:loc>http://example.com/image.jpg</image:loc>
    </image:image>
    </url>

    Newest version of A1 Sitemap Generator allows creating image sitemaps either way.

    However, my personal opinion is that an image should only appear once in image sitemaps.

    Under all circumstances, if you have one for-sure primary page to an image, I would only list the image once. But if you have 2 pages where the image is equally relevant for then...
