SEO Support - sitemap.xml
It would trivial for Kentico to automatically generate and serve a sitemap.xml file for google SEO. Any chance this can get in the next release?

Support for the defacto robots.txt standard would also be useful. In the current implementation, all files are served with the same suffix which is default .aspx. This means that a robots.txt file gets served up as robots.aspx. The only way around this is to rewrite the url. It would be trivial to add an exception for this.

RE:SEO Support - sitemap.xml
Hi,

We already plan to support sitemap.xml and robots.txt in some of the next versions.
Moreover, I think that in the upcoming 4.0 version you can handle the files with their original extension.

Regarding robots.txt - you can place the file directly to your web directory on the file system.

Best Regards,

RE:SEO Support - sitemap.xml
Yes, if we had a single website then we could put robots.txt there. But we are hosting several different sites and each would need their own file

Hi,

Yes, I understand your need - you can try to "catch" the robots.txt request in global.asax.cs file and according to the domain, you can point it to certain file for each web site.
