Dear Web Masters, So how do you submit site maps to search engines? I expose my site maps in this way: In a file /web_root/allsitemaps.txt, I add every site map created by the web designer: Code: https://www.mywebsite.com/gb/sitemaps.xml https://www.mywebiste.com/us/sitemaps.xml ... I also add these lines in file /web_root/robots.txt: Code: Sitemap: https://www.mywebsite.com/gb/sitemaps.xml Sitemap: https://www.mywebsite.com/us/sitemaps.xml ... Then, I submit these 2 files to Goggle web tool but it does not recognise them very well. It said these files did not contain sitemap. https://www.mywebiste.com/allsitemaps.txt https://www.mywebiste.com/robots.txt And then I submit these one by one: https://www.mywebsite.com/gb/sitemaps.xml https://www.mywebsite.com/us/sitemaps.xml ... It seems that goggle web tool does not like batch submission of sitemaps. Can you share your experience of submitting sitemaps in batch? I have almost 100 countries sitemaps to submit. I am becoming a Web Slave, not a Web Master.
Create a sitemap.xml that references the other ones. As an example, see the sitemap of this forum: https://forum.howtoforge.com/sitemap.xml And to Google, you submit just this central sitemap; Google then finds and reads the other sitemaps on its own.
