Your Google Sitemap

Marin

You put the site map that pertains to the site you made it for, in that folder. If you have dogs.com then you put the site map for it in the dogs folder ..etc. That way each site has its own map, if you just dump it in public html, every time u up a sitemap named sitemap.xml you will over write the one that is already there. So you could under each folder make a folder for the sitemap, but you dont have too.

Joch,

Im not sure exactly what you are asking, but as a rule you dont want the spiders in your https area, so usually they are taken out in your robots.txt file. You really dont need your check out pages indexed do you? People arent going to land on them as the first thing of your site are they? Id omit the htttps from sitemaps or crawls.

Re: Your Google Sitemap

Thanks Karen,
that makes perfect sense to me now. I know what to keep in and out of the sitemap now. I originally thought all the pages had to be there.
Again thanks,

Re: Your Google Sitemap

Hi, first of all I just want to tell you that I am a learner on all of this before you think I am a complete idiot! I have built my site and it is on google, have done the ROR sitemap, however, (this is where you are going to think I am completely mad), how do I create a hyperlink from home page to the xml file, (so sorry, I really don't know what this means). Would you mind explaining this to me. Went on the www.vodahost.com/ror/xml thinking it was going to tell me but it didn't. I am not the smartest when it comes to this sort of thing!
Thanks heaps,
Willows

Re: Your Google Sitemap

Create a small text ink(i.e. sitemap or ror) and then select the text
then click on the Green world icon in the top menu
fill in the URL line with (i.e. http://www.yourdomainname.com/ror.xml )

Re: Your Google Sitemap

Sorry excuse my ignorance, maybe my head is just full and can't think. I have uploaded the ROR as stated. It says to create a hyperlink from home page, I am not 100% as to where do I put this discreetly as stated to do.
Do i just change my URL to www.domain.com to www.domain.com/ror.xml
and thats it? I am not sure when it says discreetly? If I did this wouldn't that muck things up or not?

Re: Your Google Sitemap

Me again! I just got your comment David, thank you. When you say select text, and the hyperlink, and put in domain, this means that the www.domainname.com/ror/xml will be visible on the page yeah??? I just have to make the writing really small. Am I correct in what I am saying and clear in understanding what you have said??
Thanks heaps for responding.

Re: Your Google Sitemap

Hey David, thanks heaps. It finally sunk in, thank you very much you are a gem. I really shouldn't do this late at night, or should I say early in the morning now, because I don't think the brain works as well. Its done now and I have you to thank.

Re: Your Google Sitemap

Ok, so I am about to scream. For some reason Google came back with ERROR when I tried to do sitemap. So I thought ok I did something wrong! So I deleted what I originally done and thought I shall do it all over again, but now matters are worse!! Now when I try to upload and click on zipfiles prior to going to the UP key, firstly it stays in its same position (does not disappear) unless I double click it, which ok thats fine same result. I go the left side and click on the head section before pressing the UP button and for some reason all my other files jump in and the zipfiles is nowhere in sight so now I cant even get past that part. Does anybody have a clue what I am saying and would you by any chance know what the hell it is I am doing wrong. I am so getting frustrated with myself! PLEASE HELP ME!!
Willows (the idiot)

Re: Your Google Sitemap

Thanks David, really appreciate that but my problem now is silly me deleted what I did prior and now cant upload this zip file now to go to the next step in order to do that. Appreciate you telling me this though as I would have done it that way again, thank you, you are too kind.
