Sitemaps are an easy way for webmasters to inform search engines about pages on their sites that are available for crawling. In its simplest form, a Sitemap is an XML file that lists URLs for a site along with additional metadata about each URL (when it was last updated, how often it usually changes, and how important it is, relative to other URLs in the site) so that search engines can more intelligently crawl the site.

So, as you might have already figured it out, you need to include all of your posts on it.

Good luck.
 
^Wrong, it makes it easier for them to index the pages. You should include all posts and if you're using wordpress, use Google XML, or the inbuilt sitemap generator of Wordpress SEO by Yoast.
 
Would you read again what i wrote and use your common sense to figure out that when i said it informs search engines it meant it makes them easier to crawl, doh!
 
You fucking troll. You had 1 line there saying "It tells the search engines WHAT to index" which is wrong, I posted and then you edited it with that whole paragraph.

Prove it, prove that i edited a single letter after you posted, i dare you!h,

Oh, and i don't really see any difference between 'tell' and 'inform'
 
I figured it out. Just a little more reading. :P

Do you think adding all of the rss feeds to the robots.txt is worth it? How much of a SEO increase is it?
 
Uhm, i don't think it would make a difference whether you add RSS feeds to your robots.txt, but if you want to, you can block RSS Feeds from being indexed from Search Engines though.
 
lol Im.z, google has all this info you know. :P

User-agent: * means all spiders. it is usually followed by allow or disallow rules. Example:

User-agent: *
disallow /wp-content/

The www vs none doesn't really matter, but I prefer without since it's shorter.
 
Won't make any much difference in ranking, it'll just keep out the spiders from indexing stuff you got on these directories.
