Google Webmaster Tools

**jbartle** · 01-03-2009 08:13 PM

Ok, so I have a problem that I thought would go away with this...but apparently it hasn't. I haven't been logging into the webmaster tools for a while so I finally checked it out and I still have these errors.

I have about 460 error URLs, 540 not founds, and 80 unreachables and they ALLLLLL look like this:

Code:

I have the showpost turned off in the sitemap settings but it seems these are still being included since the "problem was reached" 2 days ago. What else could be causing this problem to occur and to continue to occur for over a year or 2 now?

Hello,

you should also enable "Replace post number link with Permalink " option in vBSEO CP and vBSEO will replace those links with main showthread URLs.

Thanks, I could have sworn I had that option...I guess I didn't.

Thanks

I've got plenty of errors with duplicate pages.

Reason 1: Thread was moved to another place and now, google sees the same thread in different forums

Reason 2: Thread-Title was corrected and so google sees the same thread with old and new title.

What can I do?
I sometimes think it could be best, if the sitemap tool would just pick new threads, when they are about 24h old ...
In this case, they are normally moved and their title is changed.

Hello,

vBSEO automatically redirects to a new URL in both cases, so old links will be dropped from SE index after some time.

pardon my ask i see my site but it shows me in the webmaster tool the www.domain.com but the option for sitemap to add it is there, should i add it there too? it wont double download the sitemap? thanks for the answers.

If you mean that you have one with www and one without, you should only allow traffic through one. Please see here: [How to] Setup www.yourdomain.com or yourdomain.com (www vs. non-www) - With .htaccess 301 redirects

no no no i mean should i add the site map to google webmaster or the vbsitemap add it by himself and i only get statics in the webmaster tool page?

You should manually submit your sitemap_index.xml.gz to Google: https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/dashboard

My forum is not english so I turn it to my country region.
Is that mean that google will show results only to them or what?
Can someone explain it little more?

Thank you
