SEO

I've noticed a significant drop in the URL's that are being on reported. I noticed a significant drop in my index pages in Google. Before this problem, I had over 830,000 pages indexed in Google. Now, I have only 380,000...

For example, here are the last two days the report is listed in my admincp:

229 2008-08-20 02:00 1,002.81 s 3,039,979 +1,619 Yes Yes
230 2008-08-21 02:00 777,598.59 s 609,912 -2,430,067 Yes Yes

These are the last two dates that the report appears in my AdminCP

I just upgraded to 3.2 and when I run the Sitemap generator, I get the following:

[SECTION START] tags [5,972.3Kb mem used] [237,297s (+349s)]
[create sitemap file] filename: sitemap_92.xml.gz, number of urls: 48 [5,983.3Kb mem used] [237,298s (+0s)]
[create sitemap in text format] part #93 [5,983.2Kb mem used] [237,298s (+0s)]
[create sitemap index] filename: sitemap_index.xml.gz, number of sitemaps: 92 [6,011.5Kb mem used] [237,298s (+0s)]

It runs in about 1 second, and when I try to view a report, one doesn't exist!

Here are my current settings:

max_execution_time to 1500

My PHP Memory Limit is set to 48.00 MB

PHP Maximum Upload Size 2.00 MB

PHP Max Post Size 8.00 MB

Can someone please help me?

92 sitemap files is absurd.

a general rule of thumb is 5-7 files at 30,000 urls each per million posts.


see the settings in my ultimate guide. sounds like you're just including everything, which you shouldn't.

I changed my settings, but now it's up to 97 files. Should I delete all the sitemap files then run the sitemap generator?

yeah, delete all the .gz files from the /data folder and run again
