I'm a newbie to web designing and general website stuff, and just started using zen-cart so hope this doesn't seem a really silly question. how log does it take for google to index my site having (hopefully) installed the sitemaps correctly? my website is http://www.christopherdanielgifts.com . I don't know if it is needed to answer my question? also, do i have to go to google webmaster to add my website site map or does it automatically send it without me needing to do it? would really appreciate all the help.

Google should crawl your site within 24 hours or so - it is beneficial to add the sitemap ( /sitemapindex.xml) in Google Webmaster Tools so you can see the stats in there as you monitor your site. Data in WMT may take some time to show uo (weeks for inbound and internal links). Also it can be useful to set up the Cron job as per the useful tips in the readme for this plugin.

cheers,
Mike

I've managed to add it onto google but on one page is on there when typing "site:www.christopherdanielgifts.com" - will it take time for the other pages to appear? As for the cron job, i'm not entirely sure that it is correct. For creating the robot.txt file, I should have it only containing:
0 5 * * * GET 'http://<your_shop_url>/index.php?main_page=sitemapxml'

and then google will index everything so i get a higher ranking, is that correct?

I validate it.. everything is ok.
Please tell me how to fix this

Hi,

Sorry if this is a really stupid question. I have loaded this module and all appears to work fine. excellent. Now for the stupid question. Everytime I add new products do I need to do anything with regards to the sitemap?

Thanks

Yes, when you add new products you should recreate your sitemap and resubmit to search engines. You will have to do this manually unless you have set up a cron job - which I assume you haven't.

Some say you should recreate and resubmit whenever you make any changes to pages included in your sitemap files.

Properly set up cron. On the site there is information that appears on its own, such as reviews, tetimonials.
