Well Done Well Done Indeed!!

Dear Designers,

I am so thrilled I can't stand it the sitemap is designed in a way that is nothing short of brilliant!  On one of my sites 40,000 properties are indexed out of 40,000.  I can tell you I just submitted 405,000 pages and in an hour 16,500 of the one page submitted was indexed!  THIS IS AWESOME INDEED! thank you, thank you and once again well done indeed!  It took all day to get a functioning page I could submit and I do have a few issues with the page resolving but after I redirect it back to the server and not a proxy server, I am hoping that will go away as well...Being able to submit 405,000 pages in perfect format for Google priceless...

so you use the Dolphin built-in site map tool to generate the site map then upload that file?

Correct!  I had a mod but it could not go past 100,000!  I am now at 84,000 pages being indexed in less than 24 hours!  In a week I am certain it will climb to 95% of the total of 405,000 submitted!  This is a game changer for sure... 

this is weird.

I turned on mine, it worked well, but the XML file generated had only 19 links to total. I used 3rd party service (a free website) and generated 5,000 links. submitted and 3,000 were indexed.

Are you looking at only the main XML file? Which only contains links to the rest of the XML files.

Dolphin splits the sitemap into several sitemap files. Not just one. So i am not sure your reading the sitemap it generated properly.

 Thank you for the information, I think I just looked at the main xml file which is located under /site root/sitemap.xml 

Where are the other xml files?

The other xml files are in the cache_public folder.

 so when I submit the sitemap to google webmaster tool, I have to copy the links of the xml files in the cache folder and submit them all?

Deano you crack me up...No really you hate SEO and it should be something you embrace with everything you do.  The new Sitemaps break them down into we will call them blocks of information or single pages in blocks of 20,000.  My property portion has 16 20,000 blocks.  It matters not what I see or think it only matters what Google see's!  

This is the first submission and today 86,000 plus have been indexed in a 24 hours...It only proves that Google loves the breaking it up into simple blocks of information thus the compliment...

 No just submit the xml site map and Google will do the rest!

 Deano is correct the files hide in the public cache folder...That is what I watched to build the 16 blocks...

 under /site root/sitemap.xml ?

Another issue is my site map file was empty every other day. I have to change the file permission to READ ONLY to prevent the host or Dolphin system to overwrite my sitemap file with a new empty file.

What?

What did i say?

I was just trying to explain to luclonely that the site map he was looking at is not complete. It contains links to all of the other site maps that dolphin generates. I am already aware that dolphin breaks them up. I was trying to explain that to luclonely.

I never said anything about hating SEO.

 
Yes.
