Sitemap Generator Forum

Hi

I want to only keep these type of short titles urls in the sitemap

[ External links are visible to forum administrators only ]

and not these

[ External links are visible to forum administrators only ]

not sure what to put in the exclude urls

also found a load of these urls being uploaded which were not needed

[ External links are visible to forum administrators only ]
[ External links are visible to forum administrators only ]
[ External links are visible to forum administrators only ]

I have added the following in exclude URLS

customer.php
callback.php
pricematch.php

is this correct

Thanks

xProd=

I've tried to submit your sitemap to Yahoo and it has been processed correctly. If you can PM me your google webmaster login I'll check this further.

Hi

I have PM'ed you details - havent received a response as the problem still prevails

Thanks

any update?

Hello,

possibly Google bot was not able to connect to your server, it is likely that your host also implemented a firewall rule that blocks (may be partially) google bot requests to reduce it's activity.
