Priority Values in XML Sitemaps
Sometimes I get asked about priority values in XML sitemaps created by A1 Sitemap Generator. You can choose one of the following ways to handle priority values:
- Have XML sitemap priority values calculated based on all internal links within the website. There is a setting to prevent “extreme values” to be used, e.g. 0.0. This is the default configuration.
- Override priority and set same value for all pages, e.g. 0.5.
- Leave out priority values in total. This is probably preferred to using the same value for all pages.
For more information about how priority values are calculated, see our XML sitemaps priority value article.

I recommend having both types of sitemaps. You can see http://www.html-sitemap.com and http://www.xml-sitemaps-generator.com for more tutorials and guides.

priority is mentioned by the web masters as which is most important in a web site, mention the most important page as 1.0
