    Working on a site that is indexed in google news.. Google is not using each (wordpress) articles individual URL, instead, each article is being listed with the months archive's url..

    So.. ALL URL's are


    site.com/2007/09/

    instead of site.com/catergory/article.html

    How do I fix this?

    thnx :)

    I haven't done much with blogs - so take my advice with a grain of salt!

    Is it likely that you are dealing with duplicate content issues - i.e. that actually have two different urls with identical content (the archive version and the original page version)?

    In that case - google will choose one particular one to index in preference over the other - if its the archive version - then that's obviously going to be the one that google news indexes as well.

    *If* it's the problem - you might be able to address it by no-following the archive version - so reader's can still access it - but it's not being indexed.

    Anyway - something to think about.
