Hi,
Thanks but also if I have loads of pages millions of pages that might effect Google indexation for example Google will not shows all my indexed pages in search results so that why I am thinking about resubmitting site maps with just important stuff also I cannot prevent pages if i want disallow from robbots I have loads of pages I do not want to focus on so any body can tell whether this right

If you're looking to highlight your most important pages to Google you could consider using the priority tag. There's more about this here: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/183668?hl=en&ref_topic=6080646&rd=1

Hi,
Thanks a lot basically I have big number of pages and some of these pages does not appear in google search result so i thought to minimize my site map and submit just important pages

Hi there,
If you don't want Google to index certain pages on your site then you should block them using robots.txt. You can also de-index them via Google Webmaster Tools. You can find more info on this here: http://moz.com/learn/seo/robotstxt
If necessary you can then create a new sitemap and submit it via GWT.
I hope this helps.

If you don't want Google to index certain pages, you're best off adding them to your robot.txt file. The sitemap is just a guide, and leaving out certain pages does not necessarily mean Google won't index them.

Sitemap Contains Blocked Resources
Hey Mozzers, I have several pages on my website that are for user search purposes only. They sort some products by range and answer some direct search queries users type into the site. They are basically just product collections that are else ware grouped in different ways. As such I didn't wants SERPS getting their hands on them so blocked them in robots so I could add then worry free. However, they automatically get pulled into the sitemap by Magento. This has made Webmaster tools give me a warning that 21 urls in the sitemaps are blocked by robots. Is this terrible SEO wise? Should I have opted to NOINDEX these URLS instead? I was concerned about thin content so really didnt want google crawling them.

Exclude Noindex, Followed pages from sitemap?
Hello Everyone! This is a question about my site, which is running on WordPress. Currently, I have category page to have the noindex, follow attributes, as they have little unique content. I do have them currently in my sitemap.xml file, however. Should I remove them from the sitemap since Google technically shouldn't index them? Thanks for your help!

Do we need to manually submit a sitemap every time, or can we host it on our site as /sitemap and Google will see & crawl it?
I realized we don't have a sitemap in place, so we're going to get one built. Once we do, I'll submit it manually to Google via Webmaster tools. However, we have a very dynamic site with content constantly being added. Will I need to keep manually re-submitting the sitemap to Google? Or could we have the continually updating sitemap live on our site at /sitemap and the crawlers will just pick it up from there? I noticed this is what SEOmoz does at http://www.seomoz.org/sitemap.

Video Sitemaps - Clarification Needed
I'm trying to make sense of video sitemaps so I can get one up and going but the set up seems unclear. We currently have 7 videos created and up on Youtube. I've got them embedded on the site to a "Video" landing page as well as having these product demo videos embedded on appropriate product detail pages. So when setting up the video sitemap it looks like I'll be using the video:player_loctag as opposed to video:content_locbecause I'm not linking to the file itself but rather a page it's hosted on. Correct? Additionally I'm adding the product detail page url here, not Youtube right? Lastly, do I need to insert an autoplay piece on the videos on the product detail page? I feel that would be an annoying user experience.</video:content_loc></video:player_loc> So part of my sitemap might look like this... <video:player_loc allow_embed="yes" autoplay="ap=[?]">http://website/ProductDetailURL</video:player_loc>
