Broken links error???
« on: June 09, 2011, 05:48:50 AM »
Hello, I have used sitemap before and oleg got me straight last week with a error. I hav since put a whole new cart online for the same store, but now when I create my sitemap.xml it says it index's 17 pages but also tells me I have broken links. I have checked all my links and they are valid. Google webmaster accepts the sitemap but it is only the front pages and none of the store and when I used agora cart it index the products alos. Now it does not. I will include the sitemap in a quote

Oleg, it doesnt really tell me what links. it tells me 17 broken links after the sitemap generated. Thats the best I can tell you. Here is the sitemap.xml file it generated, but Like i said while I used agora cart it did index the clocks but now it doesnt index the store. Please hide my sitemap from the open forum will you please.
tks david

oleg, you was right on the broken link. Glad you caught it for me. So it did regenerate a sitemap without errors or broken links. But why will it not index the store products into the sitemap. The old store it did. And I dont believe zen cart is stopping it. Here is what i get on a new sitemap

so we got one part straight, but why will it not index the store pages? And I dont believe I have the robots.txt incorrect

Links in your store are pointing to non-www domain, while starting URL has www in domain name.
