I’m trying to get a definite answer regarding the issue. I have an html website which contains a WordPress blog under it in a subdomain as a folder.
I currently have site map on both the html site and the blog itself. Is that the way to go ? I have also noticed that the sitemap on the html site doesn’t include any of my pages/posts from the blog, should it include them as well?
Having two sitemaps for the root and subdomain is perfectly fine and acceptable. Don’t forget to submit them to search engines, or include them in your
robots.txtfile if you have one.As the methode said, this is perfectly fine and acceptable. All you have to do is just add the in your robots.txt file so that search engines can crawl your html site as well as blog.
First of all create a new robots.txt (if not created earlier) in root / home /www foler of your website and add the following two lines by replacing them with your site related values
