Sitemap Generator Forum

The config file allows me to set "priority" for my site. However, it sets the same priority for ALL URL's.

If I understand the search engine documentation correctly, this option should reflect the importance of each individual page (URL).

So, do I have to set the priority in each URL contained in the "sitemap.xml" file every time I run the sitemap generator?

Or, once I set the priority for each URL, in that file, will the generator understand that and retain my edits?

The same question applies to "change frequency"

Thanks,

Hello,

the basic "priority" setting is used as the "base value", while you should use "Individual attributes" option to emphasis or lessen specific sets of pages on your site.

OK, that makes sense.

The example under individual attributes is listed as below:

page.php?product=,2005-11-14,monthly,0.9

I do not fully understand the   "page.php?product="   part of the string.

I assume it would be something like
"[ External links are visible to forum administrators only ]"
for my site. Sorry, I have not used php strings before.

Is there a file that lists each URL in this format, such that I could edit it and then cut and paste?

If not, perhaps it might be a suggestion for a future  upgrade.

Many thanks,
JK

Hello,
page.php?product=,2005-11-14,monthly,0.9 this code will be applied to ALL "product" pages like page.php?product=1 or page.php?product=23 or page.php?product=453 etc.

For your case the code would be:
index2.html,2005-11-14,monthly,0.9
