2 Sitemap questions

Submitted by paul30 on Mon, 2008-09-15 19:27 in

Hello, I have 2 questions about sitemap.php file...

1. my sitemap.php file lists some urls that point to a blank pages - is that normal? how can I verify that the sitemap is working as it should?

2. Sitemap appears to be "Per Merchant" - any ideas as to how to change it to be "Per Brand"?

Thanks a lot.

Hi,

Your sitemap should not contain any links to blank pages - could you perhaps email me a link to your site, and also a link to the sitemap page and example URL that is returning a blank page and i'll check it out for you...

Regarding the sitemap being merchant based rather than brand or category based; the intention of the sitemap is to guide search engines to every product page; and the only way to guarantee a link to every product page is make it merchant based; as neither category or brand are required fields within the database.

Hope this helps!

Cheers,
David.
