Re: is something wrong with site verification today

Hi klcaa,
If your verification file or meta tag is still present on your site,
try clicking the "pending" link on the My Sites page and then clicking
the "Verify" button on the Verify page. We reverify periodically and
generally this is done in the background -- we find the file or meta
tag and the site remains verified. However, every so often, this

Sitemap OK, 451 URLs, but only 1 page indexed?

(maurice.dib) — Wed, 25 Oct 2006 14:54:49 UT

Hello,
I submitted my sitemap a few weeks ago for [link].
Google Webmaster Tools is reporting that the Sitemap Status is OK and
that 451 URLs were submitted.
However, when i search on google for "site:[link]", the only
result is the main page.
Could anyone fathom why none of the other 450 URLs are shown?

Why do good sites get deindexed from Google SERPs after adding a XML Sitemap?

(Thoughts) — Wed, 25 Oct 2006 08:30:25 UT

I would like to know why even good sites that have plenty of quality
inbound links get deindexed from Google SERPs immediately after adding
a XML Sitemap.
This kind of deindexing behavior with no explaination whatsoever about
why sites get deindexed after adding a sitemap is a big shock for
webmasters who work hard for months to build a site and suddenly see it

Not exactly, but google is known not to report all sites linking to
yours. They seem to think it's some kind of protection against too much
search engine optimization.
Try your search on yahoo, they show more accurate results.
That is done by google, if it suspects an exeptionally high relevance

sitemap to Google webmaster tool. But I'm continuously getting error

Re: sitemap for my alias site.

Hi,
I Think that you must configure your self in your alias script.

Hi Kevin
You need to check [link] :-). The
gss.xsl file is just a stylesheet to display the sitemap in a browser.
You don't really need it and Google doesn't read it - it's just for
your manual checks.

Re: google does not seem to use my sitemap

Hi there
There are generally two factors which influence crawling and indexing
....
1. the combined positive value of your inbound links to each page
2. the negative value of the "unwanted" outbound links on your pages
In general, most sites need more the of the first: good value for their
pages. However, the second item can also play a role if you have a lot
