Our sitemap is not indexed well
-
Hey there,
Hope you guys can help. We get the following error: Nested indexing. Another Sitemap index refers to the index of sitemaps.
The thing is that we cant find the error they are talking about.
Thanks!!!!

Looks like it worked!.
We send 123.000 urls and it only indexed 9.000....Is that because we had 2 sitemap index, and it takes time?.
Thanks again!

I would say yes if you also delete the sitemap from the Google Webmaster Tools Sitemap division. Than Google knows what sitemap(s) to use.

Martijn,
Sorry to bother you.
One more question, should we erase http://cursos.workea.org/sitemap.xml file once we have the the sitemaps that are in this sitemap index in the original one?
Thanks
-
Will do! and let you know if it worked.
Thank you very much Martijn
Cheers!

Hi Eduardo,
Yepm, like expected. The first sitemap you mentioned is an sitemap index file. But the http://cursos.workea.org/sitemap.xml is also a sitemap index. Within the Google policies that's not possible. You should directly include the sitemaps of your http://cursos.workea.org/sitemap.xml file in your first and only sitemap index file.

Hi Eduardo,
I have just tried to access the http://cursos.workea.org/sitemap.xml sitemap and it is coming up with a 404 error.
Are you sure that you have placed the sitemap in the root folder of the subdomain? Try deleting it from the server and then re-uploading it again.
Matt.

Hi Eduardo,
This topic/ question might help you out, it was asked a couple of weeks ago. And I think it could provide you with an answer: http://www.seomoz.org/q/sitemap-nested-indexing-this-sitemap-index-is-referenced-by-another-sitemap-index
Hope this helps,
Martijn. -
Hi Eduardo,
Do you have multiple sitemaps that are shown in an initial index? If so, it may be that there is a problem here.
Try just making the sitemap's name sitemap.xml, and making sure it is within the root domain folder. If this is already done then you will need to drop us a link to your sitemap to take a look,
Matt.

If you provide I link to your sitemap, I could take a look and see what may be causing the issue.

Why some pages are not indexed?
I have a furniture´s ecommerce. When searching for "site: movstore.com.br" returned 1080 results, but if I search for "site: movstore.com.br / Product" returned 1020 results. I mean, that 1080 indexed pages, 1020 are products pages and the other 60 pages are irrelevant. Where are the category pages? "site: movstore.com.br / Categories" - 0 results
