Broken links

[Renate Schedl]

When generating my sitemap I get a report about broken links.
I do not understand this report. All broken links refer to my amazonewidget. I have included a link into my blog pointing to my amazonshop. But the visitors do ot get any 404 erors, because all links work perfectly.

Will this broken links in the report harm when sending the sitemap to google?

When the crawling is running, I can watch the progress. And it says ...deeper level on queue (or somethign like that). But only leel 1 is crawled. In the configuration it should crawl down to level 150 maximum.

Why are the other levels (on queue) not crawled.

Sorry for all the questions. Is my first experience with sitemaps.

O.K., the first pat of my question about the broken links has been solved. Reason : I had two amazon widges included, which caused the broken links. After I took them out of my blog, no broken link showed up anymore.
I still do not know, why those widgets caused broken links, because when you click on them as a visitor, all links are working perfectly. But anyhow, by deleting the widgets I got rid of the broken links.

But the problem with only crawling the first level still remains. And I would like to find a solution for that too.

Hello,

is the sitemap created at that point or not?

The sitemap is created, but only 1 level deep. While the crawling process was running, the status messages where talking about many pages of deper level are in the queue. So I expected more than one level, when the report had finished.

Am I wrong with this expectation? Or are the external links, which can be seen in another report, those deeper levels held in the queue?

Hello,

could you please PM me your generator URL and an example URL that is not included in sitemap and how it can be reached from homepage?
