    Question sitemap WARNING from google

    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. Help

    You should really consider upgrading to vbseo 3.2. 3.0 was never intended for vb 3.7 as it was built around 3.6.x

    Either way, this is a feature of the sitemap 2.2, required for vb 3.7.

    it's the 2nd option.

    Code:
    If you have vBSEO, include old urls?
            While vBSEO will automatically 301-redirect old (dynamic) URLs to the newly formatted static URLs, some users may opt to include the old URLs in the sitemap to ensure Google finds the redirect headers for each page. Include this option until you note that most old URLs have been purged from Google.
                  Yes         No
