Hi guys, This is a new error for me, and I'm not sure if it's a reporting issue in Google Webmaster Tools, or something else is going on. I have a sitemap index. Webmaster Tools finds that just fine, and shows no errors. However, it does not show the sitemaps WITHIN the sitemap anymore, and thus finds no URLs. This worked just fine up until about 4 days ago (Oct 18th-ish), and had been working fine for over a year. Nothing has changed on our end *that we know of*, and the file format of both the sitemap index and the sitemaps it points to validate perfectly. Any one else having this problem? Thanks!
" are you getting an error messages in the webmasters tool? " if you get it please to resubmit your sitemap into SE
well, I haven't seen any problem in the last few days..re-submit the sitemap and see if that helps...if not then wait for few more days and see if it fixes itself..
I am having the same problem.. I've had a sitemap indexed for a year+ and all of a sudden it was just reporting inconsistantly (http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1075163) and now its saying that i have 0 URLs.. I am still getting traffic...
Guys, this has been resolved for me as of about 36 hours ago. Google admits to a problem and the resolution is in place: http://groups.google.com/group/Google_Webmaster_Help-Sitemap/browse_thread/thread/e229387c3ae3641f
