Will sitemap generated in Yoast for a combined wordpress/magento site map entire site ?
-
Hi
For an ecommerce site thats been developed via a combination of wordpress and magento and has yoast installed, will the sitemap (& other yoast features) map (& apply to) the entire site or just wordpress aspects ?
In other words does one need to do anything else to have a full sitemap for a combined magento/wordpress site or will Yoast cover it all ? This link seems to suggest should be fine but seeing if anyone else encountered this and had problems or if straightforward ?

I don't believe Yoast's Wordpress SEO plugin will cover Magento files. The Wordpress SEO plugin is built into the Wordpress, and pulls the page, post, category, taxonomy, etc. data from Wordpress in order to build the sitemap. The plugin itself creates a sitemap for each page, post type, etc., and is highly configurable. It then uses a sitemap index file to connect everything together.
But since the Wordpress doesn't have the Magento information, since they are separate CMS's with separate databases, the Yoast Wordpress SEO plugin won't build a sitemap file for information in the other CMS, as it has no access to it and no knowledge of it.
You can use other tools to create sitemaps for the site, either through manual crawls or installed software on your server, but the yoast wordpress plugin won't do it.

I don't know about yoast, but if wordpress and magento have their own site maps, they both can be added to sitemaps under webmaster tools.
You can also check the sitemap that yoast makes, to see if it has both wordpress and magento links in the xml file (pick 2 random urls and seach).
I would just make sure that the xml is being updated when you add new pages to your site.

Domain Mapping - International Config - WP Multisite - Problems/issues experienced ?
Hi My new clients devs are setting up new client according to below domain mapping type config Is anyone aware of any probs this could cause ? or other way should be setting up ? Also will setting up an MA campaign for the root domain 'catch all' given the domain mapping aspect etc ? Cheers Dan Set up now using WP Multisite. The root domain for the network of websites we are going to roll out, is set up as "network.domain.com. This is a "parent" domain from which all languages variants will be children of this root domain name. so: "network.domain.com/uk/" - English Language

etc I then will domain map domain names to each of these children, once I get DNS control of each language's settings. I have already mapped "www.domain.com" to "network.domain.com/uk/", so the english website is set up (and launched - as you know). I fully expect that "www.domain.tr" will be mapped to "network.domain.com/tr/" and so on, but depending on domain availability at the time of purchase. Any domain name can be mapped to each of these children, and the system doesn't care, or mind! I can also map one (or more) domain names to each child, and make ONE of them the primary domain name.0 -
Many "spin-off" sites - 301 or 401/410?
Hi there, I've just started a new job with a rental car company with locations all over New Zealand and Australia. I've discovered that we have several websites along the lines of "rentalcarsnewzealand", "bigsaverentals" etc that are all essentially clones of our primary site. I'm assuming that these were set up as some sort of "interesting" SEO attempt. I want to get rid of them, as they create customer experience issues and they're not getting a hell of a lot of traffic (or driving bookings) anyway. I was going to just 301 them all to our homepage - is this the right approach? Several of the sites are indexed by Google and they've been linked up to a number of sites - the 301 move wouldn't be to try to derive any linkjuice or anything of that nature, but simply to get people to our main site if they do find themselves clicking a link to one of those sites. Thanks very much for your advice! Nicole
