Sitemaps and dynamic pages

[Malika1]

Hi all,

I have a gigantic website and they are adding another subdirectory to it. My question is regarding html sitemaps for better optimisation.

1. Should a keyword focussed front end (html) sitemap be made for all the dynamic URLs or

2. Should a category focussed front end (html) sitemap be made for all the dynamic URLs

what would be your approach to doing a sitemap with thousands of pages with a structure like Directory > Sub directory > Subdirectory > Files

Hey Malika,

If you're talking about HTML sitemaps for a site with thousands of pages then I would even stay away from it and go for the XML sitemaps that you could add to speed up indexation. The keyword focused ones won't help you enough for now to make life easier to speed up indexation and might even cause bigger issues as you'll have thousand or hundreds of links on one page.

Martijn.
