Sitemap nos being indexed
-
Hi! How are you?
I'm having a problem: for some reason I don't understand, Google Webmasters Tool isn't indexing the sitemaps I'm uploading.
One of them is http://chelagarto.com/index.php?option=com_xmap&sitemap=1&view=xml&lang=en . Do you see what could be the problem? It says it only indexed 2 website. I've already sent this Sitemap several times and I'm always getting the same result.
I'd really use some advice.
Thanks!

It could possibly be that Google doesn't view many of your URLs as being unique. I notice that almost all of your URLs could be grouped into two sections. Each section of URLs being almost exactly identical since you have almost no unique content on any of your pages.
Also, and I may be wrong on this part, submitting a sitemap doesn't necessarily guarantee that all pages will be indexed.

In my experience it can take a while to see sitemaps updated, particularly if you are a small site and are updating it daily. Unless your site really is changing everyday, I would submit it less often and/or just be patient. You didn't indicate how long you've been waiting, but at least a few weeks to a month or two if your site is new or "small". If there is a problem, your Webmaster Tools will let you know.
I agree with Crusader as well. Sections should be broadly included in the sitemap...specific individual pages aren't really a concern with this (assuming you link well to them). You are only meant to provide the structure of the site to Google (main section, sub sections, subdomains, etc.) and let them come index when they are ready. But I do think you probably need to move onto other efforts and be patient for Google to get around to visiting your site.
