      Hi all

      Can anyone suggest how I can find where gtoogle is finding approx. 1000 pages not to select?

      In round numbers I have 110 pages on the site

      site: searech shows all pages

      index status shows 110 slected and 1000 not selected.

      For the life of me I cannot fingure where these pages are coming from. I have set my prefered domain to www., setup 301 's to www. as per below

      RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^growingyourownveg.com$
      RewriteRule ^(.*)$ "http://www.growingyourownveg.com/$1" [R=301,L]

      site is

      www.growingyourownveg.com

      any suggestions much appreciated

      Simon

        Hi Simon,

        May I know from where you get "approx. 1000 pages not to select", from Google GWT ? Your site URLs are opening with "www" version but blog URLs have non-www version.

        Example:

        Site URL:: http://www.growingyourownveg.com/

        Blog URL:http://growingyourownveg.com/blog/

        I have also your sitemap and I didn't find blog URLs in it ? Are you using any plugin for it ?

          Hi Sanket

          Thank you for your reply, the blog should start with "www" so I will look at that. And the blog pages are not in the sitemap as I was told previously I only need to put in the blog home page.

          Do I need to add the blog pages to teh sitemap as well?

          Thanks

          Simon

            Hi Simon,

            Yes, Blog pages should exists in sitemap. I think you are using wordpress platform.

            Just install "xml sitemap" plugin which automatically get updated whenever you make any post in your blog.
