I usually create 2 sitemaps for my sites. One xml for Google and one html for users.

What if you set the changefreq=daily but in fact the page doesn’t really change daily but perhaps weekly or even monthly. If Google finds that your ‘daily’ request is not accurate, does it then not crawl these pages on a daily? Is there some sort of penelty? I find that out of 9000 submitted pages, 6000 are indexed yet on average only 700 are crawled. Of course I have new pages added every day but only a few get indexed right away? Any tips on that front?

I think this is good info foe anybody who is new in development
0.8-1.0: Homepage,subHomepage
0.4-0.7: about-us,contact-us like pages
0.0-0.3: Outdated news, info that has become irrelevant.
