Setting Up Automatic Addition of New Pages to Sitemap
To set up the automatic addition of new pages to the sitemap using the Addify Site Map Generator plugin, follow these steps:
Log in to your WordPress Admin panel.
Locate the Addify Site Map Generator section.
Click on “Add New Site Map.”
Include Additional Links: First, select “Yes” to include additional links in the sitemap under the “Additional Links” section.
Set Priority for Additional Links:
Specify the priority for these additional links in the “Priority” field. Priorities range from 0.0 to 1.0, indicating the importance of these links within the sitemap.
Set Update Frequency for Additional Links:
Choose the update frequency for the inclusion of additional links. You can select from the following options:
- Always: Use this option if these links change frequently and should be crawled and indexed frequently.
- Hourly: Suitable for links that receive updates multiple times throughout the day.
- Daily: Ideal for links with daily updates or content changes.
- Weekly: Choose this option for links that undergo weekly changes.
- Monthly: Appropriate for links that experience significant changes on a monthly basis.
- Yearly: Use this for static links with annual updates.
- Never: Select this option if you want to exclude these additional links from regular indexing. Note that search engines may still index them, but less frequently.
Add Extra Links (Optional):
If you want to add extra links that are not part of your website’s pages, enter their URLs separated by commas in the “Additional Links” field (e.g., URL1, URL2, URL3). This allows you to include external links or specific URLs of interest in your sitemap.
By following these steps, you can automate the inclusion of new pages or additional links in your sitemap with specified priorities and update frequencies. This ensures that your sitemap remains up-to-date and relevant to your SEO strategy as your website evolves.
