Do I need a SiteMap mod or Addon?

[Kenneth Holland]

Hi,

I am about to launch my forum. Do I need a sitemap for my forum (by way of addon, etc....) to help with indexing or is XF good to go stock in that regard?

Thanks.

Ken

You don't need it.. but it can't hurt.

You don't NEED IT but it would be great if you have it
Sitemap for XenForo 1.1.3

look at reviews and you would see why

I liked it, though running the cron entry manually from the ACP would come out a little screwy.

Eventually switched to XenUtiles to stop spam and I couldn't justify having a separate sitemap addon, but it worked incredibly well for the duration I used it. Better than XenUtiles' sitemaps.

I've been trying to see if sitemaps have any positive or negative rating on SEO, but I think for the most part it is beneficial if you have allot of content that does not get indexed, through poor internal linking or similar. I have decided against using a sitemap, as most of the content I want indexed is being indexed, from what I can see.

The site map seemed to get my site on google quite quickly, so it won't hurt adding it.
