I have generated this site map but it doesn't show all the file name of my URLs (about 20 pages) How to add those pages urls? <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> - <urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9 http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9/sitemap.xsd"> - <url> <loc>http://jewelry.com/</loc> <priority>0.5</priority> <lastmod>2008-03-19T22:58:36+00:00</lastmod> <changefreq>daily</changefreq> </url> </urlset>
Check whether all the pages in your site are connected to the index page either directly or indirectly. Then start generating the sitemap.xml code by using any one of the following URLs. http://www.xml-sitemaps.com www.freesitemapgenerator.com www.writemaps.com http://gsitecrawler.com http://www.auditmypc.com/free-sitemap-generator.asp Among the given generating tools, the first one xml-sitemap is considered the best. -Dairyman
Yeah, that's the one I used http://www.xml-sitemaps.com. I have all the interlinking of pages thru footer but still no pages show up when generating sitemap.
Yeap. Finally I got it right and verified with Google. But I don't understand why the sitemap was not generated with http://jewelry.com/ but it got generated when I used http://www.jewelry.com/ Why www makes the difference? Although my site shows up in browser without the www i.e http://jewelry.com/
www is different from non-www. A1 Sitemap Generator can be made to alias them to the same during website crawl, but for other programs and search engines, you should make sure to permanent redirect (e.g. in Apache .htaccess) either www to non-www or non-www to www.
