Hello everybody, I've got a little question about a sitemap I have. In the google help programs I've added a sitemap, which has been 'checked' by Google, and it's marked as okay. It also has detected the number of URLs, but... It's been added for a while now and none of the URLs are indexed yet (other sitemaps I've added work fine) but... This one somehow doesn't get index. Can anybody tell me if there's anything wrong with this one? http://www.informatie-site.nl/sitemap.xml Even google says it's okay, yet doesn't want to index it. I've also added it to the robot.txt file, and it is marked as 'Valid sitemap found'. Hope somebody can give me a pointer or answer so I can 'fix the problem'. Thanks in advance, Marc
All of the URLs on that sitemap use the same priority, the same last mod timestamp and appear to be updated daily. You might be having issues since your sitemap is probably "lying" about these things. Google would prefer that you leave them blank rather than possibly using incorrect information.
This may be 'a problem' however... This sitemap does the same 'lying' and is working fine: http://www.informatie-site.nl/index.php?option=com_xmap&sitemap=1&view=xml The fact is that the sitemap is automatically created after 'building' the HTML-files, and thus... Several pages can be created/updated in a fraction of a second, in which case it's not lying. So, I guess I'll have to look a bit further. Anymore suggestions??
