Xml sitemap Issue... Xml sitemap generator facilitating only few pages for indexing

[udistm]

Help me

I have a website earlier 10,000 WebPages were facilitated in xml sitemap for indexation, but from last few days xml sitemap generator facilitating only 3300 WebPages for indexing. Please help me to resolve the issue. I have checked Google webmaster indexed pages, its showing 8,141. I have tried 2-3 paid tools, but all are facilitating 3300 pages for indexing. I am not getting what is the exact problem, whether the server not allowing or the problem with xml sitemap generator.

Please please help me…

Hi,

Could you point out the website or what platform you are using? maybe it would be easier to help.

When everything else fails, I do the XML sitemaps manually (Notepad++ and Excel). But Screaming Frog also is helpful.

Hi there,

Would you be able to share what tool or software you're using to create the XML sitemap? If you could also link to the actual sitemap, that would be useful so that we can take a closer look.

Have you changed your website structure recently? If you use an XML sitemap generator which crawls your website, there is a chance that changing your website structure may have blocked off certain pages and now it can't find them.

Is there any pattern to the 3300 pages that are still working ok? For example, do they belong to a certain category? This may help you figure out where the problem is.

I hope that helps a bit.

Hi Paddy,

Thanks for reply. I am using a pro-sitemap. We have not changed website structure. But earlier, we changed server. There is no exact pattern or a certain category for 3300 pages, which are getting crawled.

Is there any possibility of changing server affects  xml-sitemap?

Hi

Thanks for reply. In my case nothing is helping.

I know this isn't the best answer but it may be worth getting in touch with the guys who build Pro Sitemaps and seeing if they have suggestions for how to debug the issue.

My other suggestion would be to try another tool such as Screaming Frog and see if it has the same issue?
