    Hi,

    I can use a sitemap index to list others compressed sitemaps?

    thanks,

    Carlos

      Hi Carlos,

       

      Yes. You can use index files. Don't forget to add the location to the index file in your robots.txt file though.

        Hi Brett,

        Thanks for you answer, I have my robots.txt file like that:
        User-agent: *
        Sitemap: http://www.mysite.com/sitemap-index.xml
        and the sitemap index content like that:
        <sitemapindex xsi: schemaLocation="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9 http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9/siteindex.xsd">

        It has given me good results in google and I wanted to know if the same standard was remaining in live search of msn
        thanks,
