I would like to have something cleared up.
On a member based website, there are certain pages that can only be accessed by a particular member; such as edit profile, edit password..etc.
My question is, do those pages need to be included in the sitemap that is submitted to search engines?

No. Only add pages that you want search engines to index and are available to the search engine to be crawled. These pages do not meet either criteria.

I have a site and a blog as subdomain. The both are indexed on google, however, when I search for my domain, the blog and site are displayed separately. I'd like to show them "aggregated" way.
For example, attached has the result of stackoverflow searching on google. The picture has the main site and under it, some pages as Questions, Jobs, Java, etc.
How can I set my blog under my main site?
Regards
those are called site links and are quto generated by google if links on your website are evaluated as important

What way I should use to add our own API to the directory http://apifood.co/?
I looked on the website but didn't find any information about it.
As per comments in the "P" link found the top left of the website, Nicolas Le Roux, the site's creator states:
The data comes from publicapis.com, programmableweb.com and me :)
PublicApis.com has an Add API page for submissions. Add your API there and it in theory should filter through.
You could also just contact the site's creator directly, all of his contact links are there too.

I am generating sitemap for my web according to http://www.sitemaps.org/.
Is it possible to have in the sitemap external links?
Or the sitemap always include only the internal links.
Thanks.
According to sitemaps.org:
Sitemaps are an easy way for webmasters to inform search engines about pages on their sites that are available for crawling.
So, you should not include external URLs to your sitemap at all.

this is just a simple SEO question.
I have a wordpress SEO plug-in that has this option:
Meta robots: [checkbox] noindex, follow
Should I check this option if I want my page to be available on Google?
Noindex means that the page may not be indexed and thus the page which is affected by this Robots Exclusion Protocol directive, will not appear in major search engines, including Google. The follow directive doesn't have much to do with whether the page appears in a search engine's results.
