What should I do with URLs that cause site map errors?
-
Hi Mozzers,
I have a client who uses an important customer database and offers gift cards via https://clients.mindbodyonline.com located within the navigation which causes sitemap errors whenever it is submitted since domain is different.
Should I ask to remove those links from navigation? if so where can I relocate those links? If not what should I do to have a site map without any errors?
Thanks!

Sorry I can't display the name of the client. The only thing I can provide is the image I provided about the errors in my initial post.

Taysir - Do you have an example of the sitemap that you're submitting that you can display here? I'm happy to take a look at it...

Sorry Jeff But my client and I are located in San Francisco. Can you still help me figuring out the issue?
Thanks

Taysir - You're welcome!
Sounds like you might be nearby in the Boulder, Colorado area (with the type of clients listed). Swing by the office here in boulder if you have a chance... Customer Paradigm, 5353 Manhattan Circle #103, Boulder, CO 80303.
Thanks!- Jeff

Hi Jeff
My client which I can't mention the name uses https://clients.mindbodyonline.com links on its main navigation. The issue is that whenever a sitemap is submitted, errors occur because of https://clients.mindbodyonline.com URLs placed in the navigation.
My goal is to have a site map without any errors.
Thanks for letting me know!

Taysir,
I took a look at the XML site map your Drupal site automatically generates here:
https://www.mindbodyonline.com/sitemap.xml (It's not linked from the site, but I just guessed the URL.)
Of the 836 URLs in the xml site map, I don't see the https://clients.mindbodyonline.com login link listed in the site map.
Do you have a different site map? Or, are you trying to do a sitemap for the https://clients.mindbodyonline.com subdomain? I didn't find anything listed there either.
If you are trying to generate a "view all" list of each location, so that you can direct people to the correct appointment scheduling link, you might want to have a list that lists everything. Doing a quick search with the letter 'a' or 'e' or 't' in the search box returned about 150 results. (These are the three most common letters in words, and are often helpful when trying to break codes using repeating letters.)
So, I'm probably a little confused about what you are trying to accomplish with a site map, and what is causing you to get that error...
If you want to give a little bit more information, that would be great...
Thanks,
-- Jeff

Fixing Crawl Errors
Hi! I moved my Wordpress blog back in August, and lost much of my site traffic. I recently found over 1000 crawl errors in Webmaster Tools because some of my redirects weren't transferred, so we are working on fixing the errors and letting Google know. I'm wondering how long I should expect for Google to recognize that the errors have been fixed and for the traffic to start returning? Thanks! Jodi - momsfavoritestuff.com

Have I Set my joomla site map correctly as google not picking up articles
Hi here is my site map http://www.in2town.co.uk/sitemap-xml?sitemap=1 But i am concerned that i have not set my joomla site map correctly. The reason why i think this is, because i have a lot of articles on the site and google are not picking them up in my google webmaster tools. On my old site google was quick to pick up all the articles. Can anyone offer me any help on this and let me know if my site map should be set to show all of my articles

Recently revamped site structure - now not even ranking for brand name, but lots of content - what happened? (Yup, the site has been crawled a few times since) Any ideas? Did I make a classic mistake? Any advise appreciated :)
I've completely disappeared off Google - what happened? Even my brand name keyword does not bring up my website - I feel lost, confused and baffled on what my next steps should be. ANY advice would be welcome, since there's no going back to the way the site was set up.
