Hi, I posted a note yesterday about the SEO module not working for the ads but is working for the categories. That is not the case it is working but I missed the fact that google last crawled my site before I installed the module. Thanks a million for the quick and very relevant answers. I have a further question though relating to the site map. It's pulling the original url's and not those created by the SEO module. I think this is stopping Google from crawling the ads section. Can you please let me know how to get the ite map to list the SEO friendly url's. Thanks Tony
Resubmit that sitemap page to the search engine in your google webmaster tools account. However, really unless it is a sitemap which distinguishes urls where the content has changed, I would just do it once more and then leave it. Google is quite able to comeback to your site and crawl it again. You can tell google directly in their site map area (thin it is under webmaster tools) to drop certain urls like your php ones. You can also tell google directly by excluding .php urls using your robots.txt file. Using the robotos.txt file will ensure that php urls will not get crawled and indexed.
thanks - but I think the issue is that the sitemap takes the php url but google only sees the html one on the site. Is there any way to make the sitemap see the html url and not the php's Thanks Tony
Well the tc_sitemap in the templatecodes system I know for sure takes the html url of all pages including extrapages if you have the SEO module deployed. It also marks the date when the last change was made so informs google that a content change has occured or a new url has been created. This increase efficiency for google. Not sure whether the Free sitemap does this. .
Just looking for the sitemap but can find it as a standalone! is it available without the rest of the items? Thanks Tony
Hi Lhotch, I've tried that and still not working. I tried reinstalling the seo mod and sitemap. It's really impacting google and I m hoping to get it fix soon. Any help would be greatly appreciate. Many thanks Tony
From u I am afraid it is not available standalone. However, looking at Eric's site map it should do what you are asking.
Eric can you please have a look because the sitemap is showing the php url's instead of the sef url's. I have a saleguys ready to hit the road and this seriously holding me back. Thanks
Sorry to interfere but your template is broken in Safari as well. Perhaps not the most popular browser but still you should fix this. The whole of the page is pushed across to the right. Worth checking in google chrome too. Looking at the code in the sitemap download, it is not getting to this line $url = URL.'/categories/'.$slug.'.html';
I just had a look and the issue was he had an old sitemap download from here: http://www.68classifieds.com/forums/modules-plugins-modifications/3666-sitemap.html I have edited that post to remove any confusion.
