My Zen Cart Pages in Wordpress Not Indexed by Google

Hi, I have searched over the forums for this answer but i can't find a solution.

Basically, I built my zen cart inside a wordpress page. It has been over a year and google can't seem to find my product pages in the zen cart store.

This is the current structure of my website:

Wordpress: http://drsecretstore.com
Zencart: http://drsecretstore.com/shop (only)

I had managed to locate the norobots/nofollow tag and removed it successfully but it still seems Google can't find my sitemap in http://drsecretstore.com/shop (zen cart)

A solution would be kindly appreciated!

Have you created sitemap xml files in the root of your installation that specifically point to your store URL's, and is there an appropriate robots.txt file in the root too?

Re: My Zen Cart Pages in Wordpress Not Indexed by Google

My Sitemap: http://www.drsecretstore.com/shop/sitemapindex.xml
I had submitted the sitemap to Google webmaster tools

Just added a blank robots.txt file to the main page.

Zen cart pages still not appearing on google.

Anymore suggestions? Your help is kindly appreciated.

Re: My Zen Cart Pages in Wordpress Not Indexed by Google

I am using version 1.38 with cold steel template, I had fixed the template header, removed no robots no follow tags, submited to google webmaster, created sitemaps and robot.txt.

It is still not listed in google pages, or any search engine. Any solutions would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe try removing whatever so-called "seo" addon you've got installed that's rewriting all the URLs?

I can't even get to your site now... the whole thing seems to have collapsed in on itself...

Have you switched it off?
