Sitemap causing problems

Knuder12 · #1 () 02-07-2007, 02:23 PM

For some reason all searches to my site are showing either the sitemap page or the terms of use page. Ex - if someone searched Dream Poker Bonus Info instead of being shown my dream poker page they're being shown the link to my dream poker page on my sitemap page... and every once in while its randomly my terms of use page too. What's going on here? How do i stop it? Thanks

I don't see why you need that html sitemap at all. All of your links are in the navigation spiders will have no trouble finding it.

It's possible your dream poker bonus info page was tagged as a supplemental result and the sitemap or terms of use as the main page of your site with that content. Search engines mess that up alot.

I'm worried that if i simply delete the html sitemap now that instead of the sitemap showing up as a result, it just won't have me at all and i'd rather have the sitemap than nothing... You think this matters at all? or should i just delete it?

if its causing problems why keep it? just delete it and head over to google's sitemap generator, where u can pump out an xml sitemap to submit to google and other major search engines which is much more effective.
