This is a container for all the URLs in the sitemap. For sitemaps, the version should be 1.0, and the encoding must be UTF-8. It also states the version of XML and character encoding used. This tells search engines that they’re reading an XML file. They can look a bit daunting if you’ve never seen one before. Taking off “.sitemap.xml” and adding “/jcr: sitemaps are made for search engines, not humans.Knowing this can help debug why a group of pages is being included if you don't know where they're coming from.The protocol/format ( ) also supports including “change frequency” and “priority” metadata in the sitemap, which we may at a future date support by adding fields in page properties if this is successful and deemed worthwhile.Authors cannot currently create/edit their own robots.txt file.If this is a success, after some feedback, we may make it automatically (or with opt-in) meet the auto-detect criteria.It should be able to be manually fed into Google webmaster tools and similar.Auto-detection expects it to be named “…/demo/sitemap.xml," not “…/” and/or have a tag referencing it or be referenced in a robots.txt. This page will not automatically be found by crawlers.

The order of links (which shouldn't really matter to Google) will match a depth-first traversal of your site in the site admin tool (the left column tree if all pages are expanded), plus the related, audience and task nav.(We believe this is harmless/meaningless to Google.) The target URL of redirect pages is included, which can result in external links in your sitemap.There is no way to include shared content hosted pages at this time. Links in text, references, external embeds, etc., are not included. Only pages that actually exist in the hierarchy of your site, such as your top and left nav, are included.Audience and Task nav (in the header under search, and at the right side of the top nav, respectively) are included deeply for example, if these links go to a hidden part of your site, or another CMS site, all the pages under those areas will be included.Related Links are included, but not deeply for example, if the related links go to a hidden part of your site, or another UBCMS site, these pages will be ignored.The "Hide in Navigation" setting is honored.Once you are happy with your Sitemap, submit it to Google using the Google Webmaster Tools (read more ).You can experiment with this process in Author, but do not submit the Author link to Google since their crawler will not be able to log into our Author environment to read the Sitemap.The Sitemap can be built from any page on your site, but it generally will be best to use your site's homepage.Your Sitemap should be in the format described at as referenced by Google Webmaster Tools (see ).e.g., (actually located under /content/medicine/.) would become /content/.), use the virtualhost plus the UBCMS Author page path (e.g. For a UBCMS site which has a virtualhost (e.g.For the URL of a standard UBCMS site's homepage, simply drop the ".html" and replace it with ".sitemap.xml.".
