Hello,

I tried to genereate the sitemap of my Webpage by xml-sitemaps.com hosted on Mobile me. I have an own URL with a Cname. My address is www.aptarit.ch

The sitemap file looks as:
http://www.aptarit.ch/ 2011-01-11T11:18:24+00:00 http://www.aptarit.ch/aptarIT/Home.html 2011-01-13T15:09:50+00:00

I miss all my pages. What I'm I doing wrong.

Thanks for the help

Peter

Hi Peter,

look at step 3) of my Google FAQ http://iwebfaq.org/site/iWeb_Google.html

Quote:
3) Before creating a Sitemap of your site there is a problem: The Navigation Bar of iWeb ’08 and iWeb ’09 is Javascript rendering so Google and other search engines (and applications for making Sitemaps) can’t look it through and don’t see what pages your website contains. The solution is to put a second Navbar on the bottom of the page made by your own, that’s how: create a text field, make normal text links to the pages included in the Navbar and you’re done (you can see an example of it at the bottom of this page). The search engines will now follow those links. Best is to make it once and then copy and paste it to the other pages included in the navbar. However you don’t have to put it on all your pages. Add it to the first page of your website.

Regards,
Cédric

Hi Cedric,

I'm aware of point 3). I created a separate page with a manually established sitemap. Maybe have a look at www.aptarit.ch. I assumed that way it should fullfill the same purpose as the hand made navbar at the bottom?

Hi Peter,

yes and no. But mainly no.

The problem is that Google and xml-sitemaps.com can't read the iWeb navigation menu. The only way to get to your Sitemap is by clicking on a link in the navigation. Since they never read the navigation they never read there's a Sitemap either.

Which means you would have to at least link to the Sitemap from the first page for them to get the Sitemap and hence find all other pages too.

Regards,
Cédric

Hello Cedric

It works perfect now! Obviously it needs the navigation on the first page. Now I'm curious how long it takes for Google to index my page.

Thanks for the help.posting.php?mode=reply&f=26&t=1145#
