Possible bug in Crawl Issues report?

[A-Drive]

Hi all -

My crawl issues report shows 3 pages with missing titles. These are just google verification files and the robot.txt file - shouldn't these be excluded?

Hi Matthew,

I think you will find that those urls are included in your sitemap.xml and that is why they are being crawled. They are also being indexed by google - you can search for the name of the verification files and they show up in the results. Remove them from the sitemap and you should be ok!

Wow that is interesting. Thanks for the info and direction Lynn. I will look into that.
