Sitemap for Webmaster Tools with friendly URLs the correct way

[Trevor Hannant]

Are these all in your sitemap when you open the XML file?

Can anyone help with this please ?

Thanks.

Ok, digging a little I see theres a huge problem with the sitemap.

I have this:

- 25,270 Duplicate meta descriptions
- 19,680 Duplicate title tags

Now, thats a big problem.

Example of 1 thread:
/forum/showthread.php/7054-Interconexión-de-2-MacBooks-Pro
/forum/showthread.php?7054-Interconexi%F3n-de-2-MacBooks-Pro&p=51018&viewfull=1
/forum/showthread.php?7054-Interconexi%F3n-de-2-MacBooks-Pro&p=51038&viewfull=1
/forum/showthread.php?7054-Interconexi%F3n-de-2-MacBooks-Pro&p=51038

It should be just the fist one and not 4 of them pointing to the same thread.

That multiplied for 25,000 !

It looks like the sitemap has URLs for non friendly URLs, for Friendly URLs and for archive or something ? And all of them pointing to the same place.

As the friendly URLs are the correct ones, how to fix this issue in the sitemap ?

Thanks.

If you open one of the XML files, what do you see as the links? Are they correct?

Theres no error at all. But its not working, I mean theres no error explained or something.

Green check that its working, an attention icon and a red X. All my other sitemaps are green and ok, this one is not working tho. Without having the friendly advanced URLs I kind of remember it was working, but not sure.

Any idea why is not working as it should ?

What does it say the actual error is?

Hi, I am trying to make things work with no luck.

The URL of the sitemap is http://www.site.com/forum/xmlsitemap.php and I have the friendly URLs advanced selected.

Webmaster Tools drops a yellow attention sign that its not working .

How to fix this ?


Thanks.
