google site map

[Donna]

I just made my first site map for google and yahoo. I use miva as only a shopping cart. I have catalog and product pages for information. So my miva pages are only item #'s and very brief descriptions. I am concerned that they would most likely be viewed as duplicate content by the search engines. If they were indexed the customer clicking on it would just be in the shoping cart.

My question: Does any one know for sure if you have to include all your pages?

Thanks,
Donna

Only include the ones you want Google and Yahoo to see.

Setup a robots.txt to prevent them from indexing the content inside /Merchant2.
