Google Sitemap Creator 1.0

It means that you access your sitemap at root, ie you go to www.yoursite.com/sitemap.xml

Then the .htaccess get's the sitemap from your PP directory and show it at www.yoursite.com/sitemap.xml
It's like an alias for a web address.

Thank you Lazlo,
but this, i think with proof, go against google guidelines that says to put the sitemap at the root level. Nothing to do via addons code?

excuse me and thanks

[Lazlo]

It's Ok with google. I also use this method. Google looks for www.yoursite.com/sitemap.xml and the gets your sitemap. It doesn't see that the file actually is somewhere else because of the alias.

Thanks again,
now google go a step further. (my case) At the root level i have a sitemap for the site powered with wordpress, and (i see it in this moment when try to upload the sitemap) the only way with this configuration is to integrate PP sitemap with wordpress sitemap so they build a unique sitemap.xml.

I see, how about putting your photoblog on a subdomain ie fotoblog.soveratonews.com and place your PP over there. Then you can place the sitemap in your PP directory.

But I don't know what googles opinion is about this, but I think you can just put the sitemap in soveratonews.com/fotoblog/, because that is the root of your photoblog.

I'm sure about this:
you could't put the sitemap at /fotoblog/ you have to put it (the sitemap) at the highest level you have access (often the root) or google after some days ban your site.

Mm, I have my sitemap in my subdomain folder for 1.5 years now. And Google really likes my site.

[Giuseppe]

Yes, is true, but you have content only at that level, and i don't now how google treats subdomain like subdomain.domain.com. Be sure that if you do the same with subfolder and root with sitemap in both level google ban the site.

Does anyone know why the text size on certain parts of my pages would become larger when I installed the Google Sitemap generator addon?

Thanks,

Figured it out, sorry.

I had html tags at the bottom.
