Thank you for your answer ! I will share it with our IT team.

Hi guys, I have a similar problem, but on IIS7. Our IT department says our 301 redirections file is at it's max size in the webconfig. They could increase the limit, but says it will impact page load speed negatively. What's the impact on page speed of having 5000 to 10000 urls in the rewrite map ?

Also, they're also looking at a solution to look at the redirections only when the site gives a 404, so it would hit 404, then 301, then 200. I am a little scared of this SEO wize. Would it be a problem?

Thanks !

Our IT department is on a big project and we won't have any support for almost a year, that's why I was looking at other solutions.

We currently add about 10 to 20 pages a month, so I probably could redo the sitemap once a month, right after the new content is published.

Thanks, I really like your answer.

I should have thought about cleaning it in Excel. I will get right on it !

We currently don't have an XML sitemap for our site. I generated one using Screaming Frog and it looks ok, but it also contains my tracking url parameters (ref=), which I don't want Google to use, as specified in GWT. Cleaning it will require time and effort which I currently don't have. I also think that having one could help us on Bing.

So my question is: Is it better to submit a "so-so" sitemap than having none at all, or the risks are just too high? Could you explain what could go wrong?

Thanks !

Thank you for your answer.

I convinced our IT team to put build the title field in our CMS to be able to write our own titles.

I was very skeptical of this client side javascript solution too. Now I can work with confidence.

Thank you for your answer.

PHP is not an option since our website is running on an IIS server. I cannot fetch it as Googlebot yet because the solution is only in our development environment.

Hi, I asked our IT team to be able to write custom page titles in our CMS and they came up with a solution that writes the title dynamically with javascript.

When I look on the page, I see the title in the browser, but when I look in the source code, I see the original page title.

I am thinking that Google won't see the new javascript title, so it will not be indexed and have no impact on SEO.

Am I right ?
