: GWT- Should I add separate URLS as separate sites in Webmaster Tools? We're using an e-commerce platform that's making things a bit unclear on how I should proceed with Google Webmaster Tools.
We're using an e-commerce platform that's making things a bit unclear on how I should proceed with Google Webmaster Tools.
Let's say we have a store domain at: store.mystore.com and within that store we have different broad categories that they treat like different stores.
For example we have two categories: blue widgets and red widgets.
store.mystore.com/en-us/blue-widgets
store.mystore.com/en-us/red-widgets
This platform treats both of those URLS as separate sites, and one of those is set to the default home page: when you enter" store.mystore.com, you're redirected to store.mystore.com/en-us/blue-widgets.
When i do a crawl test of store.mystore.com in GWT, it does tell me it's redirected.
Should I add both /en-us/blue-widgets and /en-us/red-widgets as separate sites within Webmaster tools?
And I guess the answer to that question will dictate how I handle generating a sitemap(s).

Google considers your entire domain name to be a single website. Your sitemap should include URLs from both areas of your site. You'll want to register your base site (just the domain name) in Google Webmaster Tools.
You may also register the directories in Google Webmaster Tools separately. They would give you some insight into the keywords keywords and rankings for the pages in each section separately. Registering them separately would just be for your benefit. You would still submit sitemaps to the main site.
