    Too many redirects?

    Since installing VBSeo (I have had the sitemap thing running fine for ages), I am getting the error detailed below at Google. In the sitemap settings, I have "If you have vBSEO, include old urls?" set to yes (because my index in Google is 99% old links still).

    Any clues?


    Error at 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. [?] HTTP Error:

    Hello,

    although this is only a warning message, you could disable "If you have vBSEO, include old urls?" option to exclude redirected URLs form sitemap.

    I will do, and see what happens. I was hoping the inclusion of the old URLs would force Google into noticing that they are 301'd, but I guess they'll drop away naturally with time.

    I currently have the same problem.
    Option "old URLS" was "off" all the time.

    I feel, that google changed something to their webmaster sitemap tool.

    any idea ?

    If you have "Replace post number link with Permalink " option enabled in vbseocp, you should disable "Include Show Post Pages" option in vBSEO Sitemap Generator options (since showpost links are automatically redirected to showthread links in this case).
