XML Sitemaps for Property Website
-
Hi all,
I was hoping that someone might have a link to a good example of an XML Sitemap for a large property (real estate) website?
Thanks in advance to anyone who does!

Hi there
I would also add here that you can look into a sitemap generator which will update and maintain your sitemap for you so that you don't have to manually do so. This can be quite tedious, especially if you are handling multiple listings and adding/removing them, so having a generator can hugely benefit you.
This is a great time saver! Hope this alleviates a bit for you - good luck!

Hi Gavin
I hope Zoopla is big enough for you!
http://www.zoopla.co.uk/sitemap.xml
And here is a downloadable version:
http://www.zoopla.co.uk/sitemap.xml.gz - found from within their robots.txt file. http://www.zoopla.co.uk/robots.txt
Hope this helps!

Hi Gavin,
Just look at any sitemap that you can find as they'll all look the same and the only thing different would be the URLs in there. I doubt that sites will really have it different from others. You can check our sitemaps for example here: http://thenextweb.com/sitemap_index.xml

Company acquired but keeping website for now. How to rebrand without losing traffic?
A client has been acquired by a larger company who will eventually absorb client's website but this could take some time (a year or more). We have posted notice of the acquisition on their current site now, but it's time to make the rebrand of current site a priority. Since this site could be functional for some time and still operates as a lead generator for the company, we don't want to negatively affect their web traffic. Curious if anyone has experienced similar or if there are best practices we should be following for this transition? Domain will stay the same for now.

How does the suggested website functionality work in Safari?
I don't seem to be able to find out much information on this one. Safari often shows a suggested website as you start typing a query into the browser. I've uploaded a screenshot to help show what I mean. safari-suggested-site.png

Will ReDesigning my website negatively affect SEO?
I currently have a one page website which lists all the company information on one page [domain name is www. bwd . co . za]. It uses javascript for navigation. My challenge is that the layout is outdated and I would like to update it with a high quality WordPress theme which will not be a one-pager. Currently on Open Site Explorer the website has a domain authority of 30/100 and page authority of 41/100. I've worked hard to push the numbers to get to where they are hence I'm a bit concerned. Will re-designing my website negatively affect SEO?
