The first report I got was: HTTP - In Sitemaps - Not followed - Not found - Restricted by robots.txt - Timed out - Unreachable What does this mean and Is there a simple cure for this problem? Does Restricted by robots.txt mean that I have the wrong line that is not allowing Google to access? Is having a site map an important feature to improve Google results. Thanks Frank

Ideally you do need a site map that Google can read, especially if you don't have a sensible structure where each page can be spidered to all the other pages. It needs to be in XML format but there are full instructions on Google how to do it. _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is. GAWDS Now where did I put that Doctype?

I never paid much attention to the publish site page and found several stat conflicts and deleted them But every page on the local and remote sites is marked unmatched.--years of neglect I guess. I presume I need to publish the local site (which is now cleaned up ) and somehow remove all the excess files on the remote site. The help screen sez Select and publish or synchronize the files as required. What does that mean? Do I have to do that manually comparing local to remote? Thanks Frank (in reply to oraclewiz1)

I presume I need to publish the local site (which is now cleaned up ) and somehow remove all the excess files on the remote site. The help screen sez "Select and publish or synchronize the files as required" What does that mean? Do I have to do that manually comparing local to remote? Can I just delete all the files on remote and then publish local to remote? Thank you Frank (in reply to oraclewiz1)

I seem to remember having to clean up some files by hand anyway... since it didn't always do the best job automatically. Worst case, yes you should be able to delete the remote files and republish the revamped web. _____________________________ Talk to your kittens about catnip, or someone else will.
