    Warnings

    Google is telling me that my sitemap has warnings

    sitemap_index.xml.gz
    Sitemap Index 3 hours ago Warnings 2682

    could anyone explain how to correct them.. i have tried to re-populate the sitemap but obviously that did not work

    but the details says the following

    Sitemap type Web Format Sitemap Index Submitted Aug 14, 2008 Last downloaded by Google 3 hours ago Status OK Total URLs in Sitemap 2682 Indexed URLs in Sitemap 99 Sitemap errors and warnings

    No errors or warnings found.

    oh and this

    URLs not followed
    When we tested a sample of the URLs from your Sitemap, we found that some URLs were not accessible to Googlebot because they contained too many redirects. Please change the URLs in your Sitemap that redirect and replace them with the destination URL (the redirect target). All valid URLs will still be submitted. HTTP Error:
    : 301 (Moved permanently)

    Hello,

    you should do the following:
    1. disable "Include old URLs" option in vB admincp->vBSEO Sitemap Generator options
    2. disable "Include Showpost URLs"
    3. removed all *.gz files from vbseo_sitemap/data/ folder.
    4. regenerate sitemap and resubmit it to Google.

    No, you should leave them like that to avoid the same issue.
