Multiple Sitemap Index Files in Robots.txt

12 Comments

• Actually what I'm talking about is specifying multiple INDEX files in the robots, not multiple SITEMAP files. I'm saying I need more than the 50,000,000 URLs allowed by the 50,000 URLs per sitemap and 1,000 sitemaps per index file.
  

• I am not so sure about this but we do use multiple site maps on our site www.ticketnest.com. We just place url's of the sitmap at the end of the home page.
  You also use the Google Webmaster Tools and add multiple site maps per site.
  

• You can specify more than one Sitemap file per robots.txt file.

• We've got the same issue at www.riddlecrack.com. We simply used:
  
  Sitemap: http://www.[yourdomain].com/[yoursitemapindex1]
  Sitemap: http://www.[yourdomain].com/[yoursitemapindex2]
  
  And it seems to be okay as judged by the google webmaster tools?
  

• The concept of a sitemapindex.xml is so you can list multiple site map xml files within the sitemapindex.xml referenced in the robots.txt.
  
  This approach is very useful on website siloing structure. In that type of website structure, you must have a sitemap.xml file within each silo (theme) and reference all the different silo’s xml file in you sitemapindex.xml, which, again, is referenced in your robots.txt file.
  
  If you guys have any questions, look up “website theming” and “website siloing” to get an idea. This is something I picked up after a training with Bruce Clay in California.
