SitemapXML v.2

[countrycharm]

First off, thank you for making this add-on and for sharing it with all of us.

The above quote is the only response I've found so far to several people who are having the problem of Google not indexing their products. I'm in the same boat, I used this program and submitted my sitemaps to Google and they are not showing errors at all. However, all sitemap*.xml files are indexing except the products one. It is showing 161 URLs submitted and 0 indexed. I have resubmitted them, with no positive results other than again, no errors... but no indexing either. I've waited several days now and it is still not indexing. Anyone have any other ideas besides being patient?

Thanks!

I am having the same problem. I will check and see what Google say about this soon.

FYI for all who are waiting for Google to index their sitemap, it does take time...I submitted mine a few months ago, and only now is google showing the pages being indexed.

On another note, it is possible to have a manufacturers xml added in to the next update?

Thanks so much for this tool!

Thanks for the input...
Interesting... Google almost immediately showed my other sitemaps as indexed (EZ pages, etc) but the products are still holding at 0. I wonder why some would go through so quickly while others may take months!?

Hi

Have downloaded and installed this a couple of times after failing to get it to work the first time. Am trying to install on a very old copy of zencart could this be the problem? When i get to click on the here tab to create the sitemap I only get a blank page! What am I doing wrong or should I really upgrade!

Thanks in advance

Hi

Just installed this module and followed the instructions until I get to Admin - Tools - google xml sitemap and there is no such name.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

Got it all installed and "working" Although I am noticing a few issues and was curious if anyone could shed some light on it. I am currently running Ceon URI Mapping (SEO)

Within the sitemaps that it pulls it shows links like:

http://xoskins.com/digital-cameras/nikon/nikon-coolpix-s60-xo-skin?&language=en

Yet when I click on the link it shows:

http://xoskins.com/digital-cameras/nikon/nikon-coolpix-s60-xo-skin

Do the links read as something different on the backend? This is hurting my indexing with google. Anyone else run into this?

A. This would NOT hurt your indexing with Google..
B. This has NOTHING to do with Ceon URI Mapping. Ceon URI Mapping as it's written is unlikely to cause issues with other add-ons.. I believe that if you change the XML sitemap setting for "Generate language_id for default language" to false this should solve this for you.

Thanks for the tip. I changed it to false, but it is still doing it.

editing that only seemed to remove the amp; yet the ?&language=en is still there.

FAAAAb mod, thanx!! 2 questions:

1. 2 language site, the products map is generating everything twice, once in ea. language. Am I not better off with just the default lang. so I won't be seen as putting dup. content? (OK the text descriptions are all diff. but the product numbers are repeated...) Also, Google is only indexing about half the product urls... do I ever rate the whole thing?

and

2. Generate language_id for default language is set to true, and I don't know what that does.... explanation?
example url in products index: http://weissewolke.com/index.php?mai...34&language=en

thanks!
