Hey guys. I just noticed that my sitemap details page is showing me this warning: Can someone explain this to me and what I can do to repair it? Thanks.
Don't include URLs in your sitemap that redirects to other URLs ... Maybe refreshing your sitemap will solve the problem.
Thanks, but I'm not sure what that even means. I use SoftPlus GSiteCrawler to generate the sitemap. Should I be putting: http://www.hotcajunrecipes.com/blog/index.php Code (markup): instead of what I have now: http://www.hotcajunrecipes.com/blog/ Code (markup): Does this have anything to do with how urls are resolved if the user puts 'hotcajunrecipes.com' rather than 'www.hotcajunrecipes.com'? I recall that I added something to account for this a while back but I don't recall exactly what it was. Maybe it was in my .htaccess file?
You just create a new sitemap with final URLs like if you have redirect on www.mysite.com to www.mysite.com/blog then put only www.mysite.com/blog in site map not the earlier one. Then resubmit it in Google. Can you please send me your XML site map link to get more details?
HI Dinki, There's nothing to worry. Just check your XML sitemap. Replace all your redirected web pages with the destination URLs. Once completed, upload the file & resubmit the sitemap in Google Webmaster Tools account. You will find that in few days your new sitemap is crawled by Google spiders. Thanks & Regards -- Ann
Download your sitemap.xml and put the new URL's there instead of the page redirected. That will resolved the problem.
