Sitemap generator not indexing all pages
« on: February 16, 2010, 11:24:05 AM »
Hi there,

The sitemap generator is missing around 12 pages on our site. Originally it picked them all up when we put in the root URL without a www. prefix.  Then our developer confirmed our root URL has got a www. prefix so we input that but this time not all the pages were indexed (the devloper put in a facilty to create new pages in the CMS for us but these are being created with a non www. URL). Since then the devloper has put 301 redirects on all pages to add a www. prefix to them. The sitemap generator still is not picking up the pages with a non www. prefix, any suggestions??

Hello,

you should make sure that all links are pointing (not redirected) to the same subdomain, either www- or non-www.

How do we do this? Do we have to change the URLs completeley so they all have a www. prefix?

Thank you

Thank you for your reply, How straight forward is it to change the prefix of a URL to add a www. infront?

That depends on your site backend, you should contact your site developer for that.
