As i am using Prestashop for my store...
After submit my URLs and sitemap to google machine 1 week later, i found out that there's no indexed URLs in Sitemap?! Yet They did mention my total URLs for my sitemap and have been verified. [Using webmaster tools to check my status]

However i got Warnings status for some URLs, is it becos of this that's the reason why it cannot be indexed?! They mention :

"URLs not followed
When we tested a sample of URLs from your Sitemap, we found that some URLs redirect to other locations. We recommend that your Sitemap contain URLs that point to the final destination (the redirect target) instead of redirecting to another URL."

Not so sure how these change so i don really bother abt it..damn it..

Anyway when i go to search engine and type in my store name. it's show up...what really happen? Can anyone give me a clue?

    Go to your sitemap.

    Click any url.

    You will notice this:

    site.com

    When clicked

    site.com/redirecting or something like that

    Then

    site.com/destination

    From Google warning, all I can figure out that sitemap urls are not directly linking to other page, in between there is some re-direction...

    I tried to google it and found this:

    I had the same problem. I installed v1.3 of the google sitemap module and it seems to have fixed it.
    You can grab it here:
    [module] Google sitemap v1.3 - Modules - PrestaShop
    Just copy the contents to /modules/gsitemap, go to backoffice, modules, google sitemap should now read v1.3, hit configure and update your sitemap, then resubmit it to google.
    Hope that helps....

      Thanks for your help! But is it possible that my site has be re-indexed? Cause while searching through internet, they mention that maybe it's due to re-downloading my URLs. they download at 30, march. and my submit URLs is around 400. Does it take a long time to indexed? [For this i am not really sure cause once i submit it, i don't really check on it until today i read that indexed pages is important so i went into webmaster tool to check]

      But will there have any effects for not indexing my URLs? I got 5 URLs have this warnings. But getting 5 will have cause URLs not indexed?

      Anyway really for your help and search the module for me. Even though it's V0.9 as i am using V1.1 i will have to search for it.

      Just curious, are you using Prestashop as well?
