Will I be penalized if my URLs all have the same priority?
AndyPTG from Boston asks, “Will I be penalized for having every file in my XML sitemap listed with the same priority? Google Webmaster Tools give me a warning on that. But at the same time the priority field is optional”
But I definitely don’t think you’ll be penalized. If you give all of those files the same priority then we’ll just try to sort of which ones we think are the most important on our own. So I definitely wouldn’t worry about having the list of priority for every single one. It‘s not like we are going to having some scoring penalty or anything like that. It’s totally fine and totally optional. If you do have some information that you use to put under priority that’s great but it’s not required and it won’t get you into trouble if you do or don’t have it
