Technical guide for Setting up a CDN to host our images, as well as creating an image sitemap, and setting up the CDN in GWT?
-
Hi All!
We're thinking of setting up a CDN to host our images with a CNAME on a subdomain of our site. In terms of SEO, I was wondering if any of you knew of a pretty complete technical guide for setting it all up. Including whether or not we need to create an image sitemap, and setting it up in GWT.
Thanks in advance!

Yeah, these articles pretty good and have all you'd need. Still, I wonder why you want to go necessarily with cdn, rather than a hosting, which provides CDN by default. From the top of my head - Google App Engine, Liquid Web and others.

Hi Dmitri!
I perhaps worded the intro to my question the wrong way. I was looking for guidelines to set up a CDN externally, and not have it impact our SEO in a negative way. I did some further research into it, and we found a way to do it, so as to not have a negative effect on our current SEO, and make sur all images get crawled and indexed. Here are the resources we found:
1- https://www.semrush.com/blog/must-know-seo-practices-for-content-delivery-networks-cdns/
2- http://www.gauraw.com/get-google-index-website-images-using-cdn-services/
3- https://www.keycdn.com/blog/cdn-seo-indexing-images/
These resources pretty much cover all the steps necessary to achieving what I had in mind. Sorry for the erroneous wording in my original question.

Hi there.
Why do you want to setup cdn on your own server? Can you handle the load?

Automate XML Sitemaps
Quick question, which is the best method that people have for automating sitemaps. We publish around 200 times a day and I would like to make sure as soon as we publish it gets updated in the site map. What is the best method of updating a sitemap so it gets updated immediately after it is published.

Using a single sitemap for multiple domains
We have a possible duplicate content issue based on the fact that we have a number of websites run from the same code base across .com / .co.uk / .nl / .fr / .de and so on. We want to update our sitemaps alongside using the href lang tags to ensure Google knows we've got different versions of essentially the same page to serve different markets. Google has written an article on tackling this:https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/75712?hl=en but my question remains whether having a single sitemap accessible from all the international domains is the best approach here or whether we should have individual sitemaps for each domain.

Multiple Sitemaps
Hello everyone! I am in the process of updating the sitemap of an ecommerce website and I was thinking to upload three different sitemaps for different part (general/categories and subcategories/productgroups and products) of the site in order to keep them easy to update in the future. Am I allowed to do so? would that be a good idea? Open to suggestion 🙂

Why did I drop ranking after setting up perm redirect, sitemap, and Google places??
I have a site that was ranking in the top two for my search terms. We had a funky url (it contained hyphens) and was advised to change it for SEO, so I setup a perm redirect through my web host (before it was a temporary one I think) At the same time I installed a sitemap plugin for Wordpress and also registered for a Google Places account. I can't remember the exact order I did this -- does it matter? Anyway, within a couple days of doing the above, my ranking dropped to the bottom of the second page. I would like to fix this, but I'm not sure. I need help please!

Image Link
If I have an image that is well optimiswed for a keyword that the page it is on is ranking for but i put a no follow in the image link - is this going to lose the value of the image on that page. A strange question i know but this image i have on my homepage is optimised around a keyword, the image is also a link but when i changed the link in the image to no follow i seem to have dropped rankings for that keyword. Probably consicidence but i thought i would throw this question out there and get some views?

When is the best time to submit a sitemap?
What changes to a website constitute resubmitting a sitemap? For example, if I add new in-site links, should I then resubmit? Or is it more for changes to URLs, Page titles, etc?
