      Hi I recently did some 301 redirects. But now when I type into the search results 'Kyocera black and white printers' my site map is coming up in the listings - does any have any advise as to why this may be happening and how to fix it?

      Please see image attached, thanks.

        Unless you 301 redirected to the sitemap it shouldn't have any affect on this.

        Is your sitemap setup in Google Webmaster? Is it linked (in an anchor tag) on your site anywhere?

          I'll have to check the redirects & make sure there not directing to the sitemap.

          & yea I have the sitemap setup in Google webmaster, & to my knowledge there is no anchor text links on the site leading to the sitemap.xml
