      Has anyone submitted pages that generate sitemaps on the fly as opposed to only submitting static XML files to Bing? For instance, sitemap.php vs sitemap.xml, video sitemap.php vs videositemap.xml?

        Yes, I'm using a bunch of them:

        • http://visualitineraries.com/itinsitemap.asp
        • http://visualitineraries.com/regionsitemap.asp
        • http://visualitineraries.com/poisitemap.asp

        for example.  I'm successfully using them with both Bing and Google.

        • Client wants to remove mobile URLs from their sitemap to avoid indexing issues. However this will require SEVERAL billing hours. Is having both mobile/desktop URLs in a sitemap really that detrimental to search indexing?
