    Fixing webmaster tools errors

    Hi,
    I have a lot of errors in my webmaster tools. Decided to work on it, and fix it with your help.

    1. Not found ‎(21,623)‎ :/
    In fact I dont understand it, as for example it shows me URL:
    http://forum.pokerzysta.pl/a/13740-sharkscope-change.html - 404 (Not found) - 1 pages - Aug 2, 2010

    When you enter this url looks like it's get rewritten to correct address:
    http://forum.pokerzysta.pl/poker-w-internecie/13740-sharkscope-change.html

    So I don't get any 404 error. Few days ago I had a problem with config bug, fixed it already, but could it be a reason I get these url's ?
    Any idea how to fix it? As I have a lot of errors like this one.

    Marcin

    Try deleting all the xml.gz files from your /vbseo_sitemap/data/ folder then regenerate the sitemap from fresh.

    Actually checking your sitemap's I don't see any of these URL's in there so it appears these are old error messages.

    On a site note I notice you are currently including your archive pages in your sitemap I recommend against this.

    How can I turn it off ? As in vbseo I have "Don't Add Links to Archive Pages" set in Footer Archive Links tab.

    Yes, basically google will at some point update their records it can take a while but I don't see any problem with your sitemap on inspection so it should definitely happen.

    Ok, will wait then and fix other issues.
    Just checked my site with w3c validator: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=ht..._Validator/1.1

    Do you guys have any idea what's the problem with this <ul> tags? as the source looks ok to me.

    Each of those warnings is for an empty <ul></ul> pair... there are a load of them in your site, basically a <ul> must contain <li>'s or it is invalid... I would look at what is causing that.
