Sitemap indexing problem

[geekwik]

I changed some links of my website and deleted some links and created some links. After that I generated a sitemap again and re-submitted to google webmaster. I used 301 redirects for deleted or changed links and there are no broken links on my site (this is confirmed)

sitemap was generated from here

http://www.xml-sitemaps.com/

in my sitemap 285 links are present but google webmaster is showing that only 218 links have been indexed. Also my traffic felt down considerably since last 2 days ever since i submitted my new sitemap. Also when I searched for my sitename in google, it showed top 6 results within the site now it is just showing top 2 results.

for reference my website is www.geekwik.com

HAVE I DONE ANYTHING WRONG? OR IS THERE A MORE AUTHENTIC PLACE TO GENERATE A SITEMAP. REALLY APPRECIATE ANY HELP ON THIS.

Sitemaps from xml-sitemaps are completely reliable. Google does not index all pages of your site and it also doesn't show the exact amount of indexed pages, that way the prevent users from using shady tactics to fool the system.

In my case, with about 4K pages submitted to Google via sitemap, about 3.5K are indexed (that's what it says in WT) but when performing a site:example.com search it shows about 5k results. So as you can see, those numbers that Google show are not exact, those are just estimates. If you submit 200 pages via the sitemap and google indexes only 10, then there's a problem.

As per your traffic change, you should look on another possible reasons, ans it could also take some time to reindex all your pages.
