Your suggestion for sitemap

Submitted by midsol on Thu, 2008-01-10 20:34 in

Hey there,

I am seeking for some advice of how to handle my sitemap(s). I have one big site which has about 10 categories. In every category I installed Price Tapestry and so to the total of all products in all categories is close to 200.000 products.

I want google to see my sitemap with all products in it. I know that sitemap.php only shows merchants only, I also have a program called GSiteCrawler which can crawl my entire domain (but will probably take ages!)

Do you have any suggestion how I can create product sitemaps for my entire domain or do I need to create sitemaps for every category and if so, create for every category a google webmaster tools sitemap thingie?

Please advice,

Greets,

Chris

Hello Chris,

The initial output from sitemap.php is a sitemap INDEX. Each of the URLs you see is another sitemap file, which Google reads to get all the URLs for all the products!!

Cheers,
David.
