  2. Is last updated different from the mod date it I keep the post where it is and don't move it to the front of the blog? Just making small tweaks or updating links- not a full rewrite of the post. Thank you

  3. Fantastic video! Setting up a sitemap is crucial for website optimization, and your tips are spot on. Identifying the website structure thoroughly, prioritizing user experience, and regularly updating and submitting to search engines are key steps. Your explanations make it easy for both beginners and those looking to refine their sitemap strategy. Thanks for sharing these valuable insights!

  4. Would you advise for a multinational e-commerce website that has less than 200 products and no blog or other content, to have separate sitemaps for each country, or you only advise using more than 1 sitemap when there is really lots and lots of urls? You say "if your site gets huge, split it up into multiple sitemaps".. 1. Define: "huge". 2. is size the only deciding factor, or.. as i was asking above, is it worth dividing by countries?
