Sitemap in SERPS

[jamesjk24]

What's up guys,

Having some troubles with SERP rankings. My sitemap (navigation) is appearing instead of my actual keywords.

I have tried a few methods to fix this; setting a preferred domain, using a 301 redirects, deleting out of date pages via Google webmaster tools. Nothing seems to work.

My next step was to refresh the cache for my entire site - does anyone know how to do this? Can't see any tools...

Any help would be great.

Cheers, Jon.

Need a bit more info. Is it an html sitemap (for users) or a sitemap.xml for robots? And you're saying that the sitemap shows up in the SERPs but other pages on your site do not? What is the query you're doing? Is the site new? Does the root domain point to the pages you think should be showing up in the SERPs? Give us a few more details...
