: How to create a sitemap for parent and separate folder structured websites? We are looking at creating a parent and subsite folder structure, and we are not sure how to best create a sitemap

We are looking at creating a parent and subsite folder structure, and
we are not sure how to best create a sitemap for these separate installations
that all sit under a main site name.

Eg:

Parent: MyWebsite.com Subsite/Folder: MyWebsite.com/Brand
The complication occurs when have the main website which is a Joomla CMS
installation:
MyWebsite.com
Which will have a shop made from Magento eCommerce as a separate folder
MyWebsite.com/Shop
A video sharing folder built from a Video Sharing PHP install:
MyWebsite.com/VideoSharer
and a blog built from Wordpress:
MyWebsite.com/News
If it were set up as subdomains (e.g. shop.Mywebstie.com) then submitting
a sitemap is relatively straight forward. Although it’s restrictions for SEO mean a
folder structure will best optimise our SEO format for the site. Given though they are
all separate software installs & folders sitting under the main URL, how do we best
create a sitemap/sitemaps for the site given the different platforms in play?

Also will this same sitemap solution help with Google analytics?

Essentially how do we treat each folder as a separate site in google with regards to
Google Analytics for reporting, and sitemaps for SEO optimisation?

eg: Joomla, Magento eCommerce, Video PHP, Wordpress.

If anyone could point us in the right direction or share some help that would be
greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Chris

Sitemap for multiple folders under same domain :

Sitemap is a list of urls for a web crawler to know the web structure and urls of your website to crawl.

There are various conventions followed by developers to create a sitemap. Like:

1) Single sitemap with all urls
2) Multiple sitemaps per directory or logical grouping of urls

But this does not make much of a difference as for crawler is concerned. It will pick those urls and crawl it.

Recommended approach:

Create a single file sitemap.xml
Add all root links + links for directory sitemaps inside it
Add directory sitemaps will have all links inside that directory +
directory links if there are directory inside directory. This can be
nested to any level
Advantage of this is a proper organization/management of sitemaps
for you.

Even if your sub-directories are created by various tools ultimately your website is a set of links that crawler understands.

For easy management, you can have a individual product's sitemap created from its used platform/tool and link it in main sitemap.

For google analytics:

Under the same property in google analytics you can create different views based on your requirement.
