Multiple types of sitemaps
-
Hi,
Simple question, I have a 3 XML sitemaps:
- One for for News
- One for Videos
- One for all Pages (this one will probably be splited because I have a lot of content)
How do I present that to google? In webmaster tool and in the robots.txt?
-
The best practice here is to create a sitemap index - a single sitemap XML file that lists each of the individual sitemap files.
That then becomes the sitemap you reference in your robots.txt file and to help speed up the process of crawling, submit that through Google and Bing webmaster tools. (You only need to submit that index file - their systems will then "discover" all the individual files listed in it).

Benefits of a video sitemap
Hello, Is one of the biggest benefits of a video sitemap that in the search results you will see your video with a link to the website where it is found rather than a link to YouTube? i.e. if the video is hosted on YouTube and embedded in your website, the link in the search results will be to the web page described in the video sitemap? Thanks!

Multiple Vacation Rentals Local Listings
A client of ours is a vacation rental company with over 50 properties (each property is only marketed through this company). They recently asked if they could add each rental property as a listing in Google Places, Bing, Yahoo, etc. I've been doing research on whether this is advisable or can hurt them in some way. If anyone has had a similar situation, any advice would be highly appreciated. Thanks.

Ranking dance teaching company in multiple locations where they hold casses
Hi Guys, This is a question to all the pro local SEOs out there. I have a client that teaches dance classes at three different studios in Manhattan, New York City, and these studios already have their own local presence in Google Local, Yelp and so on. They basically sublet the space to hold their classes. How would I rank them for these locations? Their actual office is in Brooklyn and I don't want to target Brooklyn audience, but they can verify their listings at the class locations in Manhattan. all advice appreciated!
