Does Google index more than three levels down if the XML sitemap is submitted via Google webmaster Tools?

[Carla_Dawson]

We are building a very big ecommerce site. The site has 1000 products and has many categories/levels. The site is still in construccion so you cannot see it online. My objective is to get Google to rank the products (level 5)

Here is an example

level 1 - Homepage - http://vulcano.moldear.com.ar/

Level 2 - http://vulcano.moldear.com.ar/piscinas/

Level 3 - http://vulcano.moldear.com.ar/piscinas/electrobombas-para-piscinas/

Level 4 - http://vulcano.moldear.com.ar/piscinas/electrobombas-para-piscinas/autocebantes.html/

Level 5 - Product is on this level - http://vulcano.moldear.com.ar/piscinas/electrobombas-para-piscinas/autocebantes/autocebante-recomendada-para-filtros-vc-10.html

Thanks

Yup, Google should have no trouble crawling all the links in a sitemap, even if they are in sub-sub-sub-sub folders. With sitemaps, it's more about the number of links in the sitemap, moreso than the structure of your URLs.

As for actual indexation, make sure that even your deep pages are being linked to from your site. You want to structure the site so that your link value flows to all of your pages, especially your most valuable ones. Sitemaps can help Google with crawling your site and discovering new pages, but when it comes to rankings & indexation, links (external & internal) are King.

Excellent! Thanks Takeshi....I need to improve my internal linking then because all my internal linking is from the sites main menu.
