Hi all, I'm wondering if someone who knows what they're doing can check over what I've done so far to make sure everything is correct. My website is: www.hannahmontanazone.com First of all, I have downloaded the Wordpress XML sitemap plugin to produce my WP sitemap. I have unticked the following pages so they are not included in the sitemap: * Include categories * Include archives * Include tag pages * Include author pages So therefore only these pages are included: * Include homepage * Include posts * Include static pages Is this good? I've taken this measure to prevent duplicate content. Next, I have edited my robots.txt file and added the following: User-agent: * Disallow: /tag Disallow: /2007 Disallow: /archives What other pages shall I add? I was thinking of adding /news but then none of my posts will have individual pages in the SE because most will belong to that category, which is also the only category that should appear on the homepage. Thirdly, something is confusing me. If I look up my site on Google now, I get this: http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=ht...z=1B3GGGL_enGB241GB241&start=10&sa=N&filter=0 I have lots of indexed pages which also lead to the gallery page /gallery. However, when I created my sitemap with that wordpress plugin, it won't produce these pages in gallery. I have attached my sitemap, if anyone would be so kind to check over it. So, can I change the sitemap generation somehow so it includes ALL the gallery pages, that is all the images in the gallery (http://www.hannahmontanazone.com/gallery) - if all these pages are indexed, it's good no ? In addition, I also have All-in-one-SEO, category base killer and Advanced Category Excluder plug-in installed. Great, I know you're all busy but I would appreciate it if someone could direct me the right way !
Anybody there who could help me with this? ( to summarize things) 1. Check if I have included the right pages in the sitemap. NOTE: I have noticed that by default, on this page: http://www.hannahmontanazone.com/hannah-montana-videos which is basically the 'videos' category page, it says "Archive for the video category" in h1 tags at the top. Does this mean I should include the archives as well in the sitemap or will the individual video posts suffice, therefore avoiding duplicate content? 2. What else should I include in the robots.txt ? 3. How to get gallery pages indexed, and would this be a good thing ? I noticed that shoemoney for example has /disallow for his gallery page, but does that help? I use the targetted keywords in my photos' descriptions and title so I was hoping that would help a little. Some of my gallery pages are indexed as we speak, but I can't get the sitemap to create a link for every individual photo, as it should be ? Thanks again...
