: If the size of sitemap is limited: how do I tell to Google all of my URLs? I heard that the sitemap for Google can not exceed 10 Mb and 50 kURLs. This is not enough for me. What shell

@Kevin317

Just use Sitemap index files:


You can provide multiple Sitemap files, but each Sitemap file that you
provide must have no more than 50,000 URLs and must be no larger than
10MB (10,485,760 bytes). If you would like, you may compress your
Sitemap files using gzip to reduce your bandwidth requirement; however
the sitemap file once uncompressed must be no larger than 10MB. If you
want to list more than 50,000 URLs, you must create multiple Sitemap
files.

If you do provide multiple Sitemaps, you should then list each Sitemap
file in a Sitemap index file. Sitemap index files may not list more
than 50,000 Sitemaps and must be no larger than 10MB (10,485,760
bytes) and can be compressed. You can have more than one Sitemap index
file. The XML format of a Sitemap index file is very similar to the
XML format of a Sitemap file.

The Sitemap index file must:


Begin with an opening <sitemapindex> tag and end with a closing </sitemapindex> tag.
Include a <sitemap> entry for each Sitemap as a parent XML tag.
Include a <loc> child entry for each <sitemap> parent tag.
The optional <lastmod> tag is also available for Sitemap index files.


Note: A Sitemap index file can only specify Sitemaps that are found on
the same site as the Sitemap index file. For example,
www.yoursite.com/sitemap_index.xml can include Sitemaps on
www.yoursite.com but not on www.example.com or
yourhost.yoursite.com. As with Sitemaps, your Sitemap index
file must be UTF-8 encoded.
