    According to Google (webmaster tools), wpgeo.directory has 277 links to 181 different pages on my site.

    I figured out it’s from the test site you set up when your conversion tools weren’t working:

    Links
    http://wpgeo.directory/destroy/

    Please delete this site and let me know when it’s done. This should have happened months ago – and a dev site should NEVER have been made indexable or public to Google.

    Please destroy this site ASAP!

    I have alerted the developers that set up that test site. Thanks.

    Thanks. You should also know something about the GD sitemaps makes Google not index them. My page and post sitemaps are indexed at close to 100%. But my /gd_event-sitemap.xml, /gd_place-sitemap.xml and /gd_placecategory-sitemap.xml are indexed at close to 0% (maybe 1 of every 100 or so).

    This makes GD bad for anyone interested in SEO traffic.

    Hi,

    if Google is not indexing your listings and the sitemaps submitted are correct, the problem could be about the content of the listings.

    Are the text and images unique? If the problem was the script, Google would index 0% of your listings, it wouldn’t index even that 1% or so.

    Thanks

    If the problem were the content of the listings, then the issue would also occur with my post and page listings and not JUST gd sitemaps. Post, Page, Video – all fine. ONLY GD sitemaps.

    It might have to do with all your weird permalink settings. But changing those sitewide is not an option. No plug in should force site-wide permalinks one way or another – but maybe that’s why there are issues.

    Or it may be a conflict with Yoast sitemaps and GD

    GD sitemaps can be created using Yoast only.

    Could you please provide a link to your sitemaps in a private reply? Are the URL for your listings correct in there?

    I check what Google says is true….and Google says 1 of 250 events is indexed. So that is 100% fact. When 344 of 346 posts are indexed – but 1 of 240 gd_events are indexed – then that’s what Google thinks. Period. 100% facts. I care what Google thinks of my site.

    So Google – in Webmaster Tools – CLEARLY AND FACTUALLY has an issue with all GD sitemaps.

    As always, outstanding support from the team at GD. How dare I forget your products are perfect and it’s ALWAYS the users fault – and now it is Google’s!?!?. Surely, it’s not GD. Not ever. Not once. If I knew THAT, I would have common sense. Clearly I don’t

    I am requesting AGAIN you remove those links. I don’t not want them made public to this community for VERY obvious reasons.
