Priority Values and Search Engine Optimization
Setting priority values can not be considered search engine optimization. You can not set all pages to maximum priority and assume search engines will agree . That said, here are some thoughts about how priorities in XML sitemaps are used:
* Pages with high priority values are likely to get indexed faster and crawled more often.
* Help search engines to decide which url to show if multiple pages from same website rank for search query.
* While highly speculative, one can imagine that if a website and XML sitemap is highly trusted, you might be able boost rankings in search engine result pages, just like good internal linking within a website can.
Always ensure you have backlinks, i.e. incoming links. This will improve chances that search engines index and crawl all urls listed in your XML sitemap. |
