Sitemaps for sub domains?

Discussion in 'Google Sitemaps' started by Blasingame, Aug 15, 2006.

    Ok I have a site map for my domain bla bla bla...

    Now I would like to have a sitemap for my sub domain. Do I have to just add the sub domain sitemap to the domains sitemap(s) or do i have to add the sub as a new site and map from there...

    I'm sure this is a easy one for you just let me know... I'm new and just trying to understand.

    Example Site map:


    1. Site - howtodothis.com | Site map - howtodothis.com/sitemap.xml
    Site - howtodothis.com | Site map - howtodothis.com/help/sitemap.xml

    or

    2. Site -howtodothis.com/help | Site map- howtodothis.com/help/sitemap.xml

    Your sitemap file for Google must be in the root of whatever is being spidered... if you are listing a map for example.com then your sitemap must be in example.com/sitemap.xml and NOT in example.com/other_folder/sitemap.xml or you will get errors from Google.

    The same holds true for subdomains..

    sub.example.com must be listed in sub.example.com/sitemap.xml and NOT in www.example.com/sitemap.xml

    Ok so if I did understand this right. IF I add a SITE as example.com/other_folder and my sitemap like this example.com/other_folder/sitemap.xml I will be ok

    However if I add example.com/other_folder/sitemap.xml as a sub to the example.com site I will get an error.

    Yes, you can sitemap all of your subdomains. Google treats each one like its own site.

    I've got a good RP4 10 yrs old site of mine which is located at my ISP site (users.MyISP.com/MYsite/) - how do I sitemap it?

    OK, I registered "users.MyISP.com/MYsite/" with Google and now they want me to place that fancy generated html file into ROOT of users.MyISP.com (which belongs to my ISP) - what I obviosly cannot do. Is where a way round?
