    Warnings: URLs not followed

    hi everyone

    recently i got this warnings in my sitemap


    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.

    how can i fix this

    thx in advance

    Do you have the 'include old urls' option enabled? if so, disable it.

    I get the same warning from Google Webmaster Tools about my sitemap, but in vBSEO sitemap generator the setting for include old urls has always been disabled.

    Any other suggestions?

    Thanks Brian - I see the following:
    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.
    and:

    URL:

    The url in the quote above is actually:
    http:// forum.use-ip.co.uk/25-post2.html
    (I inserted a few spaces to stop it being read and converted to a link when I post it for you to see)

    that's a showpost link.

    Since you use the 'replace with permalink' option, the show post url no longer exists.

    disable including showpost from your sitemap, and these should go away in a couple days.

    On older folks such as Joe it is hard to read with different color fonts and sizes. Keeping it black is good for most eyes.

    Sitemap Concern

    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.
