    Maximum 500 pages will be indexed in sitemap, for more you have to create more than one sitemap and create an sitemap index file and submit it to google.

    Sitemap index file:

    The XML format of a Sitemap index file is very similar to the XML format of a Sitemap file. The Sitemap index file uses the following XML tags:

    * <sitemapindex> - the parent tag surrounds the file.
    * <sitemap> - the parent tag for each Sitemap listed in the file (a child of <sitemapindex>)
    * <loc> - the location of the sitemap (a child of <sitemap>)
    * <lastmod> - the last modified date of the sitemap (optional)

    See the Google Sitemap Protocol for more information.

    Sample XML Sitemap Index

    The following example shows a Sitemap index in XML format. The Sitemap index lists two Sitemaps:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <sitemapindex xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
    <sitemap>
    <loc>http://www.example.com/sitemap1.xml.gz</loc>
    <lastmod>2004-10-01T18:23:17+00:00</lastmod>
    </sitemap>
    <sitemap>
    <loc>http://www.example.com/sitemap2.xml.gz</loc>
    <lastmod>2005-01-01</lastmod>
    </sitemap>
    </sitemapindex>

    You can have up to 50.000 URLs in each XML sitemap file. Many sitemapper products including A1 Sitemap Generator can automatically split sitemaps into multiple when necessary. In your case however, that's not needed :)

    Hi,

    I prefer to split pages into more than 1 sitemaps when it comes to size. I use Inspyder Sitemap Creator to generate sitemap for my website. It allows me to set the limit for each XML file and generates the file automatically.

    Cheers

    Anyway, if you have a small site (10000 links max) you can also try to use mine. It's free, online and allows you to include or exclude URL string content. Take a look at http://www.webrickco.com/buildsitemap.php and post your comments!
