    HTTP Error: 302 webmaster tools

    Been looking at my webmaster tools and noticed several sitemap pages being flagged with the following message

    HTTP Error: 302

    URLs not followed
    When we tested a sample of URLs from your Sitemap, we found that some URLs redirect to other locations. We recommend that your Sitemap contain URLs that point to the final destination (the redirect target) instead of redirecting to another URL

    This is the example url given
    http://www.thespainforum.com/f188/ba...azette-239374/
    Problem detected on: May 8, 2011

    I have just flat lined again with a drop of about 50% in traffic

    Would another hacked code injection cause that error
    After last year I have learned not to panic, nothing you can do until google plays the game again

    Is it worth killing and regenerating the whole sitemap

    That url is giving the 302 due to the $ being expanded out to %248 hex code.

    You may want to change your char options to 'remove non-english...' so those issues don't occur.

    It shouldn't effect anything but that single url.

    Cheers for that Brian
    Is it a case of removing the non English characters and then redoing the site map or will the site map over write those urls automatically on the next generation

    it will auto correct when it runs again, but you can always do it manually to force it to happen sooner.
