Something strange I can't figure out

bcyber · 03-11-2008, 03:21 PM

I have a wodpress blog on a domain like http://www.domain.com/word-word/ and it's listed in google as http://www.domain.com/sitemap/

I don't know what's causing this. It's also recently lost all it's pr and not sure why that would be but that's not my main concern right now. I'm not doing anything black hat or anything and can't seem to figure this one out. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Are you saying that your domain has not any kind of that page (sitemap) which is coming in Google rankings?

Right. I have no such real page as http://www.domain.com/sitemap/ but that's they url that shows in google. When you click it, you're redirected to the real page http://www.domain.com/word-word/

very strange, are you sure there are no redirects going on?

I do have all my error page redirects like ErrorDocument 404 going to the real blog url but that shouldn't matter. I don't see why its named /sitemap/ in google.

**Rankenstein** · 03-13-2008, 02:01 PM

Definitely a redirect, the reason why must be in the htaccess file, surely?

Here's the htaccess for that blog in that subfolder.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /nice-ass/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /nice-ass/index.php [L]
</IfModule>

But where's the /sitemap bit from? Do you have a sitemap?

the sitemap is at /nice-ass/sitemap.xml

There is no /sitemap/ folder

Maybe this is something for Google themselves to answer - unless you don't want to involve them. You're 100% certain there has never been a sitemap at the url that Google displays?

I'm confuse! can you share the screen shot? Its hard to overview . . .

Correct. There has never been a sitemap at that url. My sitemaps are always just a sitemap.xml file. They wouldn't be /sitemap/
