Site map and seo help Karma: 0  
Hi guys just installed your component and it's really usefull and easy to use...but i'm not sure to use it in the right way.
some months ago my old joomla site www.twkc.it was put down by an hacker. Now it's about 1 month that i have made it completely new. But the big problem is that my seo doesnt work ( the old one worked really well in seo ) and really dont know why...url sef is active, rewrite url sef is active, suffix url is active. file robots is updated with sitemap, i send sitemap to google..but it seems something doesnt work well, my SERP are really bad!!
thanks for your help..

Hi mate,

firstly i advice you to watch the basic steps video tutorial to learn how to configure all basic operations for the sitemap done with the component: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Re9pFOOoDIg&index=3&list=PL6t5xIMeFJ2JG3OQASXPLi5YrFduVGWq3

About SERP and SEO of your website in general you need several actions to improve it, i recommend to use the SEO spider and SEO metainfo to improve the semantic. Also leave Google some months to build your rank, SEO is a slow technique.

I follow the tutorials and i hope everythnig is fine in my config http://www.twkc.it/sitemap.html
I have some more question, i notice that when you configure the images sitemap you were using jomdirectory. I'm not using extra sources in my site like k2 or jomdirectory . Do you suggest to use some of them or other to get better perfomance of my site in seo? Have i to add all kind of sitemaps to my file robots (image, mobile...) and in all the languages? or first i have to configure some sitemaps like the image and video somehow?
at the moment i have added only the xml sitemap and the mobile xml sitemap in the default language.
thanks for your support

That's good.

You don't need to use third party extensions such as K2 or JomDirectory to get a better SEO on your website. Those extensions are meant to add extra features to Joomla core content component, but not to improve SEO, they have no difference.
About sitemap types, you should add to the robots all formats that are meaningful for your website, normally only XML and Mobile. if you have multiple languages you have to add all links, one per each language. So each sitemap will index one language.

That's normal because your site is multilingual and Joomla redirects to http://www.twkc.it/en/
Your default language is Italian not English.
Please use this forum only for issues regarding JSitemap not generic informations about Joomla.
