    Hi all,

    client site with 7 sitemaps and a sitemapindex.

    no problems reported in the sitemaps tool. None. Its a perfectly valid sitemap.

    Problem:
    99,9% of the urls have multiple varibles passed through the url. Up to 12! These are not getting indexed even though they are in the sitemap!

    Any ideas, anyone else seen this?

    Are any of these variables session id's? If your url's contain question marks or are flash based pages you will have problems getting them indexed. Need more info for a detailed answer.

    Google will not index all the pages even if it contains no error. This is to save their bandwith/space. I'd submitted around 115k pages but only get indexed around 48k of it.
