Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi All,

I have a couple of e-commerce clients and have a question about URLs.

When you perform a search on website all URLs contain a question mark, for example: /filter.aspx?search=blackout

I'm not sure that I want these indexed.

Could I be causing any harm/danger if I add this to the robots.txt file?  /*?

Any suggestions welcome!

Gavin

Hi all,

Once of our clients is a large community website for parents/parenting. The standard Wordpress XML Sitemap plugin is throwing up lots of errors, etc, and is not ideal.

Does anyone have any recommendations for either a tool that we could use to create a better one, or else a service that we could pay to use?

Hi all,

I was hoping that someone might have a link to a good example of an XML Sitemap for a large property (real estate) website?

Thanks in advance to anyone who does!

Gavin

The main domain is: http://www.eumom.ie/

And these would be some of the core pages:

http://www.eumom.ie/pregnancy/

http://www.eumom.ie/getting-pregnant/

Any help from the Moz community is much appreciated!

Hi all,

Many thanks for your input so far, much appreciated!

The sitemaps that you are seeing actually were generated using that plugin you mentioned. Formatting-wise, do you see anything wrong with the sitemaps?

Thanks!!

Hi all!

I'm hoping that someone with a lot of experience with XML sitemaps can help me out here...

When submitting my sitemap in Google Webmaster Tools, these are the results:
2,414,714 Submitted
34,721 Indexed

And there's also tonnes of warnings.

Would anyone be able to take a quick look at these sitemaps to perhaps advise me on what's going wrong there? These do not load without the www, not sure if this is an issue?
