          Hi all,

          I was hoping that someone might have a link to a good example of an XML Sitemap for a large property (real estate) website?

          Thanks in advance to anyone who does! 🙂

          Gavin

            Hi there

            I would also add here that you can look into a sitemap generator which will update and maintain your sitemap for you so that you don't have to manually do so. This can be quite tedious, especially if you are handling multiple listings and adding/removing them, so having a generator can hugely benefit you.

            This is a great time saver! Hope this alleviates a bit for you - good luck!

                Hi Gavin,

                Just look at any sitemap that you can find as they'll all look the same and the only thing different would be the URLs in there. I doubt that sites will really have it different from others. You can check our sitemaps for example here: http://thenextweb.com/sitemap_index.xml

                  No index for http version of website

                  Hi, I've had a message from Google search console to say the sitemap for the http version of my site is tagged as no index. As the https version is indexed, do I need to change the http version to be indexed as well? Do I need to keep the http version of the site in search console alongside the https version, or should I remove it? Advice appreciated!

                  Writing cornerstone content for a shop (eCommerce) website

                  Hi there I am trying to optimise my site to the best that it can be. Since the most recent Google updates, everything that I reading is saying cornerstone content with lots of valuable content is a really good strategy as it tells Google what is the most important content on your site. Writing articles that are well structured and have give the user a detailed overview of that subject. Lots of top SEO's are saying 3000 words plus on these pages. My question is, how do I go about this with and eCommerce site? Obviously that majority of the keywords that I want to target are product related and these are the pages that I want to come up in the search. How do I go about creating cornerstone content for these pages? I am thinking that one of my cornerstone pieces of content would be "The Ultimate Guide to [my main product category]". But that product has numerous products related to it, all of which have their own keywords, so how would this help the products to rank? The site had two main product categories, with numerous products under each of those categories. The two main categories are targeting my best performing keywords, but currently the landing page for these is the main product category pages. I am really struggling to work out the best strategy here. The content that I have on my actual products pages is comprehensive and covers a lot of detail about that particular product and has started to rank for product keywords, but I am guessing Google wouldn't consider that to be cornerstone content. I hope this make sense. Any advice anyone can give would be really useful. Many thanks in advance

                  Best structure for a news website including main menu nav

                  Just looking for thoughts and opinions on the best way to set up the main nav on a news website that covers a specific professional services sector. There are news items, archived news, blog, events, but also main menu links to the numerous news categories that go to a page listing the news articles under that category (as created in Wordpress when publishing the article). I'm thinking that having these off the main nav is diluting the juice to the more important pages including the events and the news page? Just thinking about how to rearrange and consolidate.  Any thoughts on how people would structure something like this?

                  When writing content for a website what is the optimal copy length?

                  My site is currently in the mist of a redesign and I’d like us to compile some recommendations on the length of copy for a page to rank well but can't seem to find any up to date articles on this.Does anyone have any suggestions, comments, or feedback?Thank you.

                  Question about url structure for large real estate website

                  I've been running a large real estate rental website for the past few years and on May 8, 2013 my Google traffic dropped by about 50%. I'm concerned that my current url structure might be causing thin content pages for certain rental type + location searches. My current directory structure is:
                  domain.com/home-rentals/california/
                  domain.com/home-rentals/california/beverly-hills/
                  domain.com/home-rentals/california/beverly-hills/90210/
                  domain.com/apartment-rentals/california/
                  domain.com/apartment-rentals/california/beverly-hills/
                  domain.com/apartment-rentals/california/beverly-hills/90210/
                  etc.. I was thinking of changing it to the following:
                  domain.com/rentals/california/
                  domain.com/rentals/california/beverly-hills/
                  domain.com/rentals/california/beverly-hills/90210/ ** Note: I'd provide users the ability to filter their results by rental type - by default all types would be displayed. Another question - my listing pages are currently displayed as:
                  domain.com/123456 And I've been thinking of changing it to:
                  domain.com/123456-123-Street-City-State-Zip Should I proceed with both changes - one or the one - neither - or something else I'm not thinking of? Thank you in advance!!

                  How do we handle sitemaps in robots.txt when multiple domains point to same physical location?

                  we have www.mysite.net, www.mysite.se, www.mysite.fi and so on. all of these domains point to the same physical location on our webserver, and we replace texts given back to client depending on which domain he/she requested. My problem is this: How do i configure sitemaps in robots.txt when robots.txt is used by multiple domains? If I for instance put the rows Sitemap: http://www.mysite.net/sitemapNet.xml
                  Sitemap: http://www.mysite.net/sitemapSe.xml in robots.txt, would that result in some cross submission error?

                  Submitting multiple sitemaps

                  I recently moved over from html to wordpress. I have the google sitemap plugin on the new wordpress site, but in webmaster tools, it's only showing 71 pages, and I have hundreds, but many are html. Is it okay, to submit an html sitemap as well as the wp sitemap that's already in there?
