Strange results from 2 sites...

I have a high traffic site at pcapex.com that only shows me about 260ish on the report for Archive urls when I am emailed the report. This site has close to half a million posts. The other site is very new yet it reports about 6,000 Archive urls in the reports. Any idea what this is about? I have noticed a significant drop in my Google traffic at pcapex.com recently as well.

What is the other URL?

This will better illustrate. The PCApex.com site gets much more traffic and has a 500K post forum where the GameApex.com site only has about a 16k post forum yet look at the archive numbers. Only 290 for PCApex?!

It looks like you are using different settings for your sitemap generator for the two sites (re: for the archive settings).

FYI You should remove the "Powered by vBulletin" from the title part of the template of PCApex)

That is what I thought as well... settings for both sites are the same. Any other ideas?

I looked for where to remove that Powered by... but could not find it. Any hints?

Here ya go:

I double checked and both sites use the same settings...

"Rewrite + 301 Redirect vB's archive"

I really want to get this fixed since I think it is the cause of a recent drop in Google traffic. ALOT of missed Google traffic that is. Any help would be great.

Hi - check your settings for the vBSEO Google/Yahoo Sitemap Generator. That is where the discrepancy is.
