Can I add more than one XML sitemap in my Robots.txt File?

[hfranz]

I have 3 domains all hosted on the same Magento Enterprise Platform. Each domain targets a different county.

.co.uk, .com.au, and .com.

Can I add all three sitemaps in my robots.txt file?

www.example.com/sitemap.xml

www.example.com.au/sitemap.xml

www.example.co.uk/sitemap.xml

You can certainly add as many sitemaps to your robots.txt file as you want; however, the references in the sitemap should refer to the resources on the domain in question. For example, you won't want to include a sitemap reference on example.com's robots.txt that refers to URLs on example.co.uk.

If the sites have all the same pages, you can just include the same sitemap with relative URLs. You can also just add the correct sitemap to the correct domain in Google Webmaster Tools. Hope that helps!

As an add-on, I would really suggest you to implement the rel="alternate" hreflang="x-X" tags in your sitemaps.xml in order to better your international SEO efforts and geotargeting.
