don't install sitemap module?

Posted by purrin (not verified) on May 8, 2008 at 4:37am

I know they are working on the sitemap module currently for drupal 6, but I was curious - what is it about the sitemap module that you think would hurt your seo work? Also, what in robots.txt are seo issues to correct?

Regular Sitemap?

Posted by ipwa on May 8, 2008 at 9:10am

I used to use the XML Sitemap module, and once even started thinking about parsing the XML to be able to theme the sitemap. I got to the point of even thinking about manually doing a sitemap, but then I found ths module: http://drupal.org/project/site_map. It generates a regular sitemap in a page, and it's very easy to theme. In some cases I think having these human-readable sitemaps will help some users navigate through your site, although I must admit I never look at sitemaps when browsing websites.

That HTML sitemap module (http://drupal.org/project/site_map) looks like a good one for SEO because it helps search engines find your pages. I don't think the XML Sitemap Module should be installed though.

Posted by kbahey on May 8, 2008 at 3:37pm

There is also the Site Menu module http://drupal.org/project/sitemenu. It generates a site map page with nodes grouped by taxonomy.

Posted by Z2222 on May 8, 2008 at 6:09pm

That is a good module. I use it but wish it would paginate because Google prefers fewer than 100 links per page.

Google's Webmaster Guidelines:

Offer a site map to your users with links that point to the important parts of your site. If the site map is larger than 100 or so links, you may want to break the site map into separate pages

Can you please log an issue for it in sitemenu's queue? Thanks.

I just made an issue (http://drupal.org/node/256561) for the SEO Checklist module (http://drupal.org/project/seo_checklist) to reference the site_map module instead of the XML sitemap, citing this thread.

Domain Name

Posted by sk3ptic on July 4, 2008 at 5:11pm

How important is the domain name for SEO? I started my first drupal site and I can't get it indexed and I did everything one can possibily do, so I figure it's the domain name. The website is www.topjester.com

domain names and SEO

Posted by Z2222 on July 4, 2008 at 7:28pm

The domain name is not that important for SEO.

~~How long ago did you put the site online?~~
EDIT: The domain name is only 6 days old.

If you click here your home page is indexed:
http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Atopjester.com&num=100

Click that link again in 7 days and you should see a lot more pages listed.

Thanks in advance

If robots.txt isn't in the

Posted by Z2222 on December 15, 2009 at 7:17am

If robots.txt isn't in the root of the domain or subdomain (not the root of the Drupal installation), robots will ignore the file.

For example:

These are okay:
http://example.com/robots.txt
http://subdomain.example.com/robots.txt

These won't work:
http://example.com/drupal/robots.txt
http://subdomain.example.com/drupal/robots.txt

Thanks for you quick

Posted by joydipraha on December 15, 2009 at 7:28am

SEO

Posted by Z2222 on December 15, 2009 at 8:00pm

No problem. :)
XML Sitemaps are not needed on the average website. It won't get your new content indexed any faster than the easier RSS/ping method. It's difficult to get XML Sitemaps right and the last time I looked (which was a while ago) the Drupal module wasn't getting it right. Also, Drupal sites can get so complicated (with views, etc.) I don't know if a module can automatically figure that out. It's better to rely on good internal linking structure to get indexed well.

To see if you Drupal theme headers are setup correctly for SEO, try the Firefox X-ray extension, or just ctrl-u to view source and then ctrl-f to search for h1 and h2 elements.

Do you ..

Posted by tigron on October 25, 2010 at 4:50pm

Do you still feel the same way now with the XML sitemenu module ? I'm curious about the latest version. I'm using it now but I really need a site map to fit clients request and I'm not sure which way to go.

I also am curious about this

Posted by eule on January 29, 2013 at 6:44pm

you know about the google penguin? SEO has changed! Xmlsitemap is a good Startpoint to get conform and listed on all search engines.
Bing has made a great Webmaster Center -> http://www.bing.com/toolbox/webmaster and Microsoft has a very nice onpage tool for your seo http://www.microsoft.com/web/seo/

by the way a cool new module is word link http://drupal.org/project/word_link to crosslink your intern links.

have fun :-)
