Where do I place my Sitemap?

Your sitemap must be renamed to sitemap.xml and uploaded to your root directory.

 

How big can my Sitemap be?

Sitemaps should be no larger than 10MB (10,485,760 bytes) and can contain a maximum of 50,000 URLs.

 

What do I do after I create my Sitemap?

Once you have created the Sitemap and placed it on your webserver, you can submit it to search engines that support the Sitemaps protocol. You can also create an account and log into www.google.com/webmasters and submit your sitemap there.

 

Do URLs in the Sitemap need to be completely specified?

Yes. You need to include the protocol (for instance, http) in your URL. You also need to include a trailing slash in your URL if your web server requires one. For example, http://www.mysite.com/ is a valid URL for a Sitemap, whereas www.mysite.com is not.

 

My site has both "http" and "https" versions of URLs. Do I need to list both?

No. Please list only one version of a URL in your Sitemaps. Including multiple versions of URLs may result in incomplete crawling of your site.

 

URLs on my site have session IDs in them. Do I need to remove them?

Yes. Including session IDs in URLs may result in incomplete and redundant crawling of your site.

 

Does position of a URL in a Sitemap influence its use?

No. The position of a URL in the Sitemap is not likely to impact how it is used or regarded by search engines.

 

Some of the pages on my site use frames. Should I include the frameset URLs or the URLs of the frame contents?

Yes, include both URL's

 

Will the "priority" hint in the XML Sitemap change the ranking of my pages in search results?

The "priority" hint in your Sitemap only indicates the importance of a particular URL relative to other URLs on your own site and does not imply any effect on the ranking of your pages in search results.
