Jim,
You helped me with an earlier question where I created some links between my index and a review script install.
But now I have a problem I would really appreciate your help with.
When I run the sitemap crawl it is taking over 30 minutes and is doing almost 5000 searches and counting. It can’t be this big can it? I mean I only installed it last week and there are only about 20 reviews in there?
May I please ask for your help in having a look at this as I suspect I am including something that will piss google off if I submit this huge little thing.

BTW I am doing a tutorial on this review script for my club so I will put your sitemap generator (which we recommend) answers there so you don’t have to answer this again.
Thanks
Stephen
P.S. still going, 30 minutes, almost 5000?
If you need any access codes or anything let me know.
Hello Stephen,
You do have that many url’s – take a look at the url column and you’ll see the physical address of the page. Pick a few pages next to one another and compare them.
If they are not important or look all the same, then I’d exclude them from the sitemap and run it again.
If you have only 20 reviews in there and the script has now generated more than 500 urls, I’d be concerned
The Google Bot will see this same thing and if they have to spider 500 pages (links) just for 20 reviews, it can’t be good.
Best regards,
Jim.
