Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Everett, Yes it seems that this is the way. Thanks a lot.

We recently changed our protocol to https We have in our robots.txt our new https sitemap link Our agency is recommending we add another sitemap in our robots.txt file to our insecure sitemap - while google is reindexing our secure protocol. They recommend this as a way for all SEs to pick up on 301 redirects and swap out unsecured results in the index more efficiently. Do you agree with this? I am in the camp that we should have have our https sitemap and google will figure it out and having 2 sitemaps one to our old http and one to our new https in our robots.txt is redundant and may be viewed as duplicate content, not as a positive of helping SEs to see 301s better to reindex secure links. Whats your thought? Let me know if I need to explain more.

Hi Juan, You should also know that you can have multiple sitemap directives on one robots file. This is common among international sites and large commerce sites.
