    sitemap usually covers all the pages in a website. however, there are some sites having hundreds of pages and some has thosands. there is no need to put all in the sitemap. if your site is big, then make sure all your categoris and major subcategories are in the sitemap and google bot will crawl to find the internals.

    Hi Siddharth,
    A sitemap.xml file can have upto 50,000 URLs but the file size should not be more than 10 MB. :)

    Let me know if you need further help regarding xml sitemaps.

    do you need to post separate sitemaps for each subdomain? one for www.mywebsite.com and another for product.mywebsite.com

    I'd suggest looking at the Sitemap FAQ.

    Ssandecki is very helpful and is quite knowledgeable.
