Hi,

Where can I place my robots.txt and sitemap.xml? I went ahead and placed them in /var/discourse but they cannot be read by google or bing.

Thanks,

Johnny

Discourse manages the sitemap, you can’t manually upload a file.

Where can I then upload a sitemap for my site?

As I said you can’t upload a sitemap. There is a plugin:

> [@Discourse Sitemap](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-sitemap-plugin/40348):
>
> discourse2Summary Discourse Sitemap adds a sitemap.xml to your Discourse instanceopen_bookInstall Guide This plugin is bundled with Discourse core. There is no need to install the plugin separately. Features There has been [some](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-create-xml-sitemap-is-there-any-plugin/33654) [discussion](https://meta.discourse.org/t/sitemap-xml-for-google-webmaster/9054/9) over the need of a sitemap, and I think Discourse doesn’t really need one, although I do believe that a forum might be indexed a bit faster with one. Anyway, we created this plugin because of a customer that needed a sitemap for Google N…

But it’s not really necessary.

필요하지 않다면 왜 존재하는 것인가요?  
이 질문은 우연한 것이 아닙니다. 3개월간의 구글 테스트 이후 해당 페이지들이 다른 포럼 CMS와 비교했을 때 인덱싱이 잘 되지 않기 때문입니다. 이 현상의 원인은 무엇일 수 있을까요?

구글에서 순위에 잘 오르지 않는 페이지는 거의 항상 품질이 낮고 고유하지 않은 콘텐츠를 가진 페이지입니다.

"다른 포럼 CMS"에 대해서는 확신할 수 없지만, 제 경험상 주제/게시물은 관리자가 인덱싱 여부를 결정하기도 전에, 즉 고작 몇 분 만에 인덱싱됩니다.
