Sitemap Generator Forum

I'm new to sitemaps and need of help.

I have an old site I'm updating from asp to aspx.  I've made a sitemap and did notice google crawling my site but new pages haven't been index.  I was concerned about the old pages so in reading up I used the following code to redirect to new pages:

<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<%
response.status="301 moved permanently"
Response.AddHeader "Location", "[ External links are visible to forum administrators only ]"
%>

AGAIN MY PAGES DON'T SHOW UP, so I made this robot.txt file to ignore old pages but this robot.txt validator shows nothing but errors  [ External links are visible to forum administrators only ]  this is my robot.txt file, the pages I don't want google to index:

# robots.txt for [ External links are visible to forum administrators only ]

WHAT ELSE SHOULD I BE DOING TO GET MY NEW ASPX PAGES TO BE INDEX?

Judy

Hello Judy,

you should remove this line from robots.txt:

Disallow:

because empty value will disallow ALL pages from being indexed.

thanks, THAT I SUPPOSE WAS HUGE.  the validator seems to have fixed all my errors except for line one, is there a problem with the first line of my robot.txt? 

any ideas as to why my new pages aren't being indexed?  I don't think google has used my robot.txt file yet, just worked on that this morning.  I was thinking it won't index because it's to similar to old pages. 

Could it possibly take a long time to index new pages even with a sitemap?

Hello,

do you mean indexing pages in Search Engines (google)? If so, of course it may take quite some time until they appear in the listings.
