   Hello,

   I have found your site on Plastics Recycling and reviewed it. I’m guessing your sitemap had a lot of images and you are wondering how to exclude those files.

   Here is the exclude list you can use for your site:

   */imagelib/*
   *.mpg
   index.html

   and, choose exclude images from the settings page.

   That will generate a sitemap without images or movies.

   One item – In your menu on the left, you refer to your home page as rkoindustries.com/index.html

   rkoindustries.com/index.html and rkoindustries.com are exactly the same and both considered unique pages by some search engines. Google has stated that they can tell it’s you main page, but still recommends that you have only one.

   The recommended practice is to always refer to your main site and not the file that makes up your default page. So, simply make the home link go to rkoindustries.com and not (rkoindustries.com/index.html).

   Also, don’t use home, use something like ‘Plastics Recycling Main Page’ or ‘Plastics Recycling Home’. Why? Google and others look at how you refer to yourself when ranking a site. If you refer to your main page as home, it does you no good; however, ‘plastics recycling main page’ has ‘plastics recycling’ which Google will consider important. – You don’t have to do it, just a tip, but

   Hope this helps!

   By the way – where I live, we have all landfills. I was in Florida on a tour of a plant that incinerated everything and converted the waste into energy. It cost an enormous about of money, and although they are not recycling plastic, they are converting waste into energy. You would think there would be a big demand for such plants if they really do as well as this one claimed.

   Either way – we need to do more recycling as it’s getting out of control!

   Regards,

   Jim.

   Hey Jim,
   I followed your suggestion re: renaming my home page. Regarding redirecting my home page link, the "Trellix" editor I used to create the site is a freebie offered online by my webhost, Earthlink. The Trellix editor uses a ton of GUI’s for entering text and link management, and because of this I can’t find a way to have my newly renamed home page to link to ht tp: //rkoindsutries.com. I took a look at my web docs in my editor file manager for rkoindustries.com. I can see my index.html file, but I’m not aware (if possible) of how to change my home page link from linking to this index file. Any ideas, or am I (being quite new to this) overlooking something which should be obvious? Thanks for your time Jim. And about the recycling… we’re a new enterprise doing some things that haven’t been done before like making railroad ties out of discarded agricultural plastics (mulch film specifically). We process about 20 million lbs. annually.

   Hello Dave,

   One item you mentioned is mapping your index page to ht tp: //rkoindustries.com

   Google sees that you have 2 links and 21 pages for rkoindustries.com and 2 links and 13 pages for www.rkoindustries.com
   site:rkoindustries.com
   link:rkoindustries.com
   vs.
   site:www.rkoindustries.com
   link:www.rkoindustries.com

   So, if you are going to use the no-www option, then make sure all the links inside your site point to rko.. and not www.rko… At this point, it is not going to make a big difference, but if you start this now, you’ll be happy you did it later on down the road!

   OK – as for you hosting company and software they use, I am not familiar with the editing software. I’m taking a wild guess here, but somewhere there should be a button that let’s you view and modify code, something like ‘advanced edit’, etc. I would imagine they must have some way to edit this – it’s just a matter of finding it.

   It’s not the end of the world if you don’t, but it is best practice.

   20 million pounds a year! Wow – more power to you. Who would think – railroad ties!

   Regards,

   Jim.
