Hi, I have problem to use the standalone xml sitemaps recently (it were fine before). Our Website has many URLS in this format:
http://<domain name>/categories.php?category=Bamboo&topcat1=Bamboo&subvar5=WOMEN&subvar5v=1
But they look like below in the sitemap.xml after crawling -- category value disappeared! :
http://<domain name>/categories.php?category=&topcat1=Bamboo&subvar5=WOMEN&subvar5v=1
Thereby these URLs were not further crawled and number of indexed URLs in sitemap.xml has greatly reduced.
However, these URLs were indexed correctly when I use the online free version.
I appreciate your help and comment
