Pages indexed = 1

[gary8]

Hi,

I have the same problem as posted in this topic, but there is no answer:

https://www.xml-sitemaps.com/forum/index.php/topic,1149.0.html

I have run this on a couple of sites without an issue, but with the last site, no matter what I do, it will only index the main page.

What could the problem be? Is there a cure?

Thanks,

Gary.

Just to add, that I have checked that there are no inadvertant "nofollows" on the homepage. I ahve also run the online generator and that works just fine.

Hello,

I checked your site and see that you have rel=nofollows on your homepage, like:

<a href="/website-design/" rel="nofollow"
<a href="/graphic-design/" rel="nofollow"
<a href="/seo/" rel="nofollow"

etc.

You should remove nofollow attribute from the links.

Sorry but that is not the problem.

There is a link on the homepage to the sitemap, which Google and every other search engine follows.

I have also tried the online generator and that works fine?

What else could it be?

I have found the problem.

The only link on the home page is to the sitemap page, this is the way I want it, BUT when I click on the sitemap link it returns a server 500 error. I will get my hosts to look at it.

Let us know how it goes.
