Site Map

[OCFurniture]

For a long time our site map used to be

http://www.efurniturehouse.com/sitemap.xml

recently our hosting company changed the site map to:

http://www.efurniturehouse.com/xml-sitemap.ashx

I went ahead and submitted the new site maps to both Google Webmaster and Bing.

I submitted the Google one on Monday and it states PENDING. ( A day later this pending)

I just submitted the map to Bing.

I now have 2 site maps on each.

1)Is having 2 a problem

2. Will they ignore the old site map or can we delete and if so when can we delete

I appreciate your input

Regards

Nope.

They'll look at both. As long as the new one gets crawled, then you can remove the first one (as long as all the links are there)

Remove the references to the old sitemap in your robots.txt (if there) and in your webmaster tools. Delete the old sitemap off of the server.

Run the test to make sure Google is reporting no errors or warnings.

Thank you.

We are still waiting on Google to Change PENDING

As for bing, it was simply fast SUCCESS
