Why Do I Need 2 Google Site Map Files?
It has been proven that Google will spider your site faster if you have a Google Sitemap. But is one site map enough? Why should you have at least 2 Site Maps.
Most Web Sites can be found with at least 2 Addresses some with 3. As an example you can type in Yahoo.com or www.yahoo.com and arrive at the same web page. Some Web Pages also use a subdomain which would give them a 3rd way to be accessed (ewguru.com/hbiz or the subdomain hbiz.ewguru.com)
When you submit a Sitemap to Google you can only have 1 format of your web site in each Sitemap. Hence if you want Google to index all possible formats of your web site you need 2 have a Sitemap for each version.
