Does pagination hurt my indexing?

    I guess this is more a question of how sitemap crawling works than about the plugin so I hope you’re able to answer.

    Since no actual posts are listed in the XML sitemap (only archives) I’m assuming google (or other crawlers) will go to the category archive and see my posts linked there. I have my posts set to display 5 per page, will that hurt indexing for posts not on that first page in the archive or will the crawler just follow the “next” or “previous” page link?

    That is no easy question to answer, but if you’re using BWP GXS, the posts are actually listed in your post sitemaps, so no need to worry about that.

    Ah, you’re absolutely right. I was getting caught up with category stuff. That’s good enough for me.

    Thanks! You’re plugin has been great to work with.
