Default Sitemaps

Hi

I have a few questions about sitemaps: I have submitted a site map to Google from a Free online site map generator. I was wondering do I add another site map to update the site and add more pages or do I delete the sitemap and start again?

I am using Joomla for the content management of this particular site and the generator maxed out at 500 pages, how do I add the remaining pages (is it a matter of opening the sitemap up in notepad / dreamweaver and manually adding them) or could there be a second sitemap?

On another note good news is I added the sitemap last night alongside my Url submission and I am indexed 18 hrs later in Google (I guess that was just lucky as I waited weeks last time)



Thanks

Dan

Hi Dan,

I too used a sitemap generator for my site and I just manually add to it and resubmit it through Google when I add new pages. Now, correct me if I'm wrong folks, but I think if you update it and republish it then Google will automatically retrieve the updated sitemap eventually but I always resubmit it manually.
